SALEM COU:NTY HISTQRICAL SOCIETY 81-83 Market st., Salem, N. J.

FOREW"ORD It is unfortunate that some of the early records of the various counties of New Jersey are apparently missing. Salem County is no exception; nevertheless, a great amount of information is available in the New Jersey Archives; the various State Offices in Trenton; the offices of County Clerk and Surrogate in Salem, N. J.; th.e New Jersey Historical Society, Newark, N. J.; the Pennsylvania Historical Society, Fhiladelphia, Penna.; the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society, Vineland, N.J.;" the Cumberland, Camden, and Gloucester County Historical Societies; as well as the library and manuscript department of this Society. It is in the latter connect­ ion that this booklet is written, bringing to light possibly some hitherto unpublished and unrecorded facts. It is hoped that this publication will prove to be of value to those engaged in research. Other booklets are planned, including an inventory of numerous manuscripts, surveys and survey maps. Those who possess old Bibles, deeds, documents, books, genealogical records, maps, manuscri~ts, diaries, assessment rolls, minute books, marriage certificates, newspapers, scrap books, and the like, might well be concerned about their safety and their pre­ servation. The Salem County Historical Society, which already has a large collection of such things, will ne pleased to accept addition­ al items for storage 1n its new vault and their consequent protection against the awful risks of fire and theft, and the ravages of rodents. The vault, of fireproof construction, has no windows, has a steel safe door, and metal shelving, and even the humidity is under auto­ matic control as a deterrent against the deterioration of ageing. A~preciation is extended to Miss Josephine Jaquett for her labors in the compilation of this present work, and to Dr. Elmer G. Van Name for his help in bringing it to fruition.

It has been the endeavor to list, as far as possible, both the long forgotten names and places in Salem County, as well as the present communities, villages, streams, roads, etc. Particular attention has been given to the old plantation names and locations in Salem Tenth. It was the custom of the first purchasers of land in Fenwick's Colony to assign plantation names to their newly ac­ quired property. These names were sometimes fanciful, but more often were reminiscent of old home sites left overseas. The various lakes, ponds, townships, etc. will be found under appropriate group­ ings. In.many instances there can be no hard and fast rule regard­ ing either the spelling or more than a general location. Early spelling was mostly phonetic and subject to the individual ear. Boundaries have changed; farm lands, and sometimes older villages have been converted, or submerged, into new or larger settlements and industrial sites; many old roads, which were not too definite in the first place, have either disappeared entirely or have been rerouted; streams have dried up or changed their courses. Dams .have been built and lakes established; or, on the other hand, allowed to go to ruin, with only faint clues left as to their actual location. Then again, some of the names have been changed or suggested from time to time by the Post Office Department. In view of these uncertainties and later inaccuracies, the New Jersey Archives, as well as old deeds, papers, maps and sur­ veys in possession of the Salem County Historical Society are quoted herein, so ~ha~ or1g1na1 ~ources will give the locations as shown on the actual records. An additional advantage possibly to be gained by quoting the original papers is that information of a genealogical nature is often shown. If, however, "exact" bounds of any spot are desired, it will be necessary to consult the doc­ uments themselves. Many of t:he places may be seen on various maps, such as the map in the 11 History of :New JerseY." by Thoraas F. Gordon (1834); the Atlas of Everts & Stewart (1876);;and the map of Salem County, prepared u_nder the authority of the Salem County Board of Freeholders, 1958. Cumberland County was set off from Salem County January 19, 1748. Places in Cumberland County have, therefore, been generally omitted. Some place names in Cumberland County can be found in the'Vineland Historical Magazine' - Vol. 23, page 37. No attempt.has been made to give the entire history of places mentioned. Over the years the original tracts have been divided and sub-divided, and properties have changed hands at an amazing rate • -• A. ABBOTT'S CREEK - Elsinboro Township. An 1848 map show this small creek as flowing south and emptying into Alloway Creek.

ACTOlJ S1.ATIOlJ - l1Iannington Tmtnship. A flag-stop on the W.J .&S. S.R.R. on t}:-1e cross-road from Mannington Hill to the ,~uinton road.

A cove along the Delaware marshes ALDERMAN'S KIL - Oldman's Creek - which see. ALDINE - At the junction of Friesburg road to the south, Daretown to the north, Elmer to the east and Alloway to the west. Until about 1869, the settlement was known as Nazareth.

ALLOlAY - The early name of this hustling community was Thompson's Bridge, in honor of Benjamin Thompson, who was in charge of the Wistarburg Glass plant nearby. Then it became known as Allowaystown, a name it bore until 1882, when it was contracted to Alloway. At least two shipyards were located on the creek near Alloway in the early 1800 1 s, and at that time the town supported two flourishing hotels and a number of stores. At various dates the village has contained a·grist mill, canning factory, bark mill, a chair and brush manufactury, as well as a number of saw mills, grist mills and fulling mills on nearby ponds. The nickname "Tadmoreu has also been applied to the community. Thirty years ago, when Salem newspapers ran a series of articles called "How It Got That Name", Mrs. Hannah Anderson Higgins, of Hutchinson, Minn., stated that her father gave Alloway the nickname of Tadmore. He was a local gentleman given to much writing, and commenced his communications, especially to the newspapers, with "Tadmore in the Wilderness'' - a Biblical reference to a city built by Solomon in the 10th century B.C. ALLOi'lAYS ALLOTMENT ) - See Monmouth Precinct - Also Townships. ALLO:fAYS CREEK PRECINCT) ALLOWAY CREEK - From early times, Alloway Creek has been an important waterway in Salem County.

Alloway Creek has had at least six names: Aloes River or Creek Cotton River - said to be so-named by the early New Haven Colony because of the cottonwood trees along its banks. Short River or Korten River - so-called by the Dutch when they gained possession of the Delaware River. One of the early maps shows this as Korten River - "Kort" being Dutch for 11 short".

The tract priginally consisted of 2,000 acres. :fhere the name Amwelbury cane from is not 1cnot1n, 'but there is a possibility it could have been a variation of Aldmonsbury, as shown in the follow­ ing deed: "June 7, 1675 - Patent.

Fenwick, after his arrival, planned to lay out a town to be called Finnstown Point at Pompians Hook (Finns ?oint) but for so~e reason this was not accomplished. (C&S) A year l~ter, Fenwick gave the following patents: "1676, August 12.

Just beyond Fort Mott, after driving thru the grounds of the fort, is to be found the Finns Point National Cemetery, where are buried the Civil War Confederate soldiers who died on Pea Patch Island, or Fort Delaware, in the middle of the River. In 1912, the Government erected an 85 1 monument, at the base of which, on 12 tablets, are inscribed the names of 2,436 soldiers of the Confederacy. At one end of the cemetery, a smaller marble pavilion honors 165 Union soldiers buried there. A row of graves at the rear of the cemetery contain the remains of ~orld War German prisoners of war who died in camps around the vicinity. Also one unknown American flier, whose plane came down in the Delaware River, lies here. FISHING CREEK - ) There were several creeks and landings by this FISHING LANDING - ) name in the County.

FORT DUPONT - See Fort Mott. 20 FORT ELFSBORG - Elsinboro Township. lfiuch doubt exists as to tne exact location of the SWedish fort built in 1643. Some say it was on Elsinboro Point, now covered with sand and engulfed by the waters of the Delaware River, a supposition with which most authorities agree. Probably the nearest to the correct location is given in a book entitled: "History of the Colony of New Sweden" by Bishop Carl K.S. Sprinchorn, dated 1878. He says: "Governor Printz sel'ected a spot in the tract :purchased on the eastern side of the River, two Swedish miles (12 miles) south of Christiana, a little below the mouth of Varckens Kil, on an insignificant stream known as Mill Creek." As many changes have taken place in the shore line and the course of the streams, it 1s doubtful whether the exact location will ever be determined. Although the fort boasted eight 12-lb. cannon, 4 of brass and 4 of iron, it was the insignificant mosquito who finally won over, so historians tell us. T'.1e fort was abandoned after a few years. FORT MOTT - Lower Penn's Neck Township. This peaceful fort, from which no hostile shot was ever fired, is located on the Delaware River, about six miles from Salem. It is one of three forts built to protect the city of Philadelphia and surrounding territory - Fort Delaware, on Pea Patch Island in the middle of the River, and Fort duPont, on the Delaware shore, being the other two. In 1872, fortifications were commenced at what was then known as the Battery at Finns Point, but under War Dept. Order /f72, dated 12-16-1897, the nane of the post was changed to Fort Mott, in honor of Major General Gershom Mott. It was garrisoned during the Spanish-American lar by two compan1es of coast artillery. During World :tar I, t:·rn position was re­ fortified and manned by a large force. Not having been needed, it was finally dismantled, the houses moved across the River, and the spot turned into a State park and wild life refuge called Kilcohook.

FRIESBJRG - Alloway Township. Friesburg, founded in 1748, was named in honor of Jacob Fries, who emigrated from Germany and was a leader in the co~munity and an elder and benefactor of the Ernanual Lutheran Church. In former ti.nes, Friesburg was quite an important settlement. At the intersection of the road below the Church stood the Vanlier blacksmith shop, saw-mill, creamery, general store and post office. It is said that some of the citizens had been workers in the Wistarburg glass plant a few miles away. 21 FROG OCEArJ ROJ..:> - Lower Allmray Creek Tmrnship.

The first settlement was located, it is said, somewhat east of the present junction, the road to Canton at that time being located near the recent school-house, and ran to the rear of Pumpkin Tavern. The main road from Salem to Greenwich proceeded from John Hancock's Bridge past John Mason's mill, now known as ·1askell Is mill. It is uncertain just where the old Presbyterian Church stood. One historian states that it was about 200 yards south of the school; another says that Canton tradition has it on the "southern end of the Friends' burying-ground". In this immediate vicinity also stood the Bethlehem Methodist Church, the grave-yard of which is still in existence, but badly overgrown. The village was later given the name Jaggers Corners, after a blacksmith of that name, whose shop stood in the angle of the roads.

(SCHSU-119) IVY POINT - ) John Fenwick himself spelled it "Fenwick's Iv(y". IVEY POINT - ) (SCHSU-17) On the west side of Bridge Street now Market St.) in his town of New Salem, John Fenwick, in 1676, erected his brick, hip-roofed home, which he called "Fenwick's Ivey ... This sturdy structure stood for 154 years, until 1830, when it was torn down, and some of the bricks said to be in­ corporated in the old blacksmith shop still standing in Claysville (the only brick building on the right from Salem). The last family to occupy Fenwick's Ivey was Sheppard Ferron and family; Ferron was a waterman. Historians differ as to how many of Fenwick's daughters had houses at Ivey Point (perhaps all three, which would seem reason­ able). One account states: "Edward Champney, joiner, was the husband of Friscilla, eldest*daughter of John Fenwick. After their arrival, they built a dwelling near that of her father and called the place Blanford Grove." ( C&S) ~ Other historians state that Priscilla was the youngest daughter of John Fenwick.) Another account says that John Fenwick had a house of smaller dimensions built near him f'or his son-in-law l John Adams,. who had married his daughter Elizabeth. (SCH-SCR-1:41 Still another, a deed, would seem to point out positively that Samuel Hedge, who married Anne Fenwick, lived at Ivey Point - ttl678, May 31. Deed. Samuel Hedge, of Ive~ Point, New Salem Township, SurvY~ Gen. of Fenwick Colony an wife Anne - to Walter, Francis and John Forrest, of Burlington, millers, for the neck, called The Brothers Forrest - 300 acres along Little and Great Mill Creek." (NJA-21:566) A number of years ago, the late George Price took the trouble to determine exactly where Fenwick's house stood, and how to get there. He stated: "Go down Howell Street next to the house of tr1e late Charles Mecum, turn to the right back of the house and follow a straight line to the edge of Fenwick Creek, and there the house was s1 tuated." 011 tanks now seem to occupy 29 IVY POINT (Continued) this exact spot. Mrs. Arthur B. Smith states that her parents had it on good authority that the main entrance to Fenwick's Ivey was the lane running between #19 and #21 Market St.

The tract included the plantations of "Lefevre' s C:1ase"; "Netherland Farm"; "Quiettitty" or "Sandyburr W'oods"; "Hollybourne"; "Petersfield"; "Provo's Holt", and "Bereton Fields". Its boundaries were north by Mannington Creek and the lower portion of Swedes Run; west by Salem Creek; south by the lower part of Fenwick Creek, by Keasbey's Creek (early called Great Mill Creek); to a stream flowing northerly into it and named Smith's Creek in the survey of Smithfield (but later called Mill Hollow Creek); and by a line 32 THE LEFEVRE-PLEDGER TRACT (Continued) running from the latter stream due east for nearly a mile, where it turned south; southeast by Alloway Creek; and easterly about half-way between Quinton and Alloway and extending east of north to $-redes Run, touching east of that stream and Limestone Run. The tract was divided into six lots by its owners. The first lot - 900 acres - was called 11 Lefevre's Chase". The second lot - Pledger's, was in the southerly section, called "Netherland Farm". The-northerly portion was "Quiettitty" or "Sandyburr Wood" - comprising 500 acres and lay west of the present Salem-Sharptown road. The third lot adjoined the second on the east. Tlie south bounds was Hollybourne Creek. Lefevre's plantation "Hollybourne", where he resided, lay in this section between Acton Station and Penton. The fourth lot, owned by Pledger, lay between the third lot and the easterly line of the whole tract. The fifth lot, in the southeast corner of the main tract, was owned by Lefevre and known as "Petersfield". The easterly portion was sold to George Provo and known as "Provo's Holt". The sixth lot was west of the fifth and in Quaker Neck between Fenwick and Keasbey Creeks. 800 acres in the easterly part was Pledger's plantation called "Bereton Fields".

:-iAD HORSE CREEK or ) A well-known stream running into the Delaware THOROUGHFARE ) River north of Stow Creek. It received its name, according to Lower Creek tradition, from the fact that farmers, some years ago, turned their spare horses and cattle out to pasture on Round Island and Ragged Island and left them for long periods. At one time a disease developed and the cattle and horses went wild. From that ca~e the name Mad Horse Creek.

After Fenwick's arrival in 1675, Sinnickson secured from the new proprietor a quit-claim of his tract in consideration of payment of a yearly rental of three shillings. The family has continued to occupy this land, and descendants of the first settler are still in possession of a portion of the ancestral tract.

FENN' S 1-IBCK - See Townships. PENN'S GROVE - Upper Penn's Neck Township. The name Penn's Grove was given to the s~all village on the Delaware early in the 1800 1 s. It has been stated that prior to 1829 there was but one house; most of the activity taking place at Helm's Cove. a mile south along the River, where there was a ship-yard and a tavern. Gradually, however, due largely to the fishing industry, including sturgeon, Penn's Glove started to grow, and canning and other factories were establis:1ed. Many freight boats were engaged in carrying farm produce from here to tlilmington and Philadelphia markets. For many years, French's Grove and hotel catered to excursions from Philadelphia and ;filmington. In 1894, Helm's Cove became a part of Penn's Grove, and the whole incorporated as a borough in 1902. The expansion of the E.I.duFont deNemours plants has, of course, greatly added to t~e growth of the town. Penn's Grove has suffered two dis­ astrous fires - one in the late 1890 1 s or early 1900's, the exact date not available; and the second fire on March 1, 1932, when many business houses and homes, as well as a church, were burned. The center of the town, at Broad a~d Main, has been known for years as "Dogtown Corner". Penn's Grove is the home of the "Penn's Grove Record".

?E1';N' 3 RECK CANAL - i'hi s man-made wat er.i'ay runs t hru the u p:per point of Lower Penn's Neck and a small section of Upper Penn's Neck. As early as 1770, a subscription paper was in existence for the digging of a canal, but nothing came of it. In 1800 another effort was :aade and a charter w2.s granted by the Legislature to the Fenn's Neck Canal Company, but not sufficient stock could be sold to finance t~e project. In 1831 another effort failed. Finally, in 1868, digiing was started and the dam, cutting off Sslem Creek, built. After a cave-in which necessitated a second cut, the work was finally accoinplished. The Canal, two miles long, began at a point on Salem Creek about one-half mile below Kawks' Bridge and flowed into t'1e Delaware River between what 1s now the duPont a~ambers 1orks and the Atlantic City Electric Co. plant. The purpose of the canal ~as to provide a short cut to the River for the fertile farms up-stream, and for many years tons of produce, es i:•ec ially tomatoes, were sent to ma:r-ket thru this canal. T>1e Canal is now the property of t:1e du.?ont Company .. 43 PEr-i"NSVILLE - Lm1er Penn I s Neck Township. - Former names - Kinse~-ville and Craven's Ferry. On the Kinsey farm just northeast of the village proper, but usually included in Pennsville, were three or four early houses, known as Kinseyville, where a windmill was operated. (C&S) From the earliest history of the County, a ferry ran from this point to New Castle, it being one of the shortest distances across the River. In 1800 a re,rular ferry service. was estab­ lished and a stage line operated to Salem. Richard Craven was the owner of the stage and landlord of the hotel at the ~erry. A postoffice was established at Craven 1 s Ferry in 1826. For many years Pennsville contained a thriving shad-fishing and canning industry. A hotel and surrounding park, known as Silver Grove (so-named for the silver maples flourishing tr1ere) was, for many years, a favorite recreation spot. The park has now been greatly enlarged and is known as the Riverview Anusement Park. PENNY HILL - See Salem. PENNYTOWN - Pittsgrove Township. The early name of Greenville.

(NJA-21:559) 49 SALEM TENTH (Continued) So Salem Tenth was on its way. Later that year, 1675, John Fenwick set sail from London in the ship "Griffin" tc settle his purchase. He brought with him his three daughters, Elizabeth, Anne and Priscilla; their husbands - John Adams, who had married Elizabeth, and Edward Champneys, who had married Priscilla. Anne Fenwick, soon after her arrival, married Samuel Hedge, who came on the saxe boat. Five grandchildren were aboard - Elizabeth, Fenwick and Mary Adams; and John and Mary Champneys. Fenwick's second wife (not the mother of his children) never came to America. The exact date of the arrival of the "Griffin" is in question - but the date of Fenwick's first deed with the Indians was November 17, 1675. (Note) The date given in the N. J. Archives quoted below is Nov.7, 1675 but a photostat of the actual deed reads: "seaven teenth". 11 1675, 7th day, 9th mo. (Nov.) - Indian deed.

Fenwick, Edw. Hade, John Smith, Richard Noble, Samuel Nicholson, John Adams (his mark), Hipolite Lefevre, Edw. Champneys, Richard Whitacar, Wm.

Stewart - a re-print of which is now available. William Penn be ca:ne tne purchaser, March 23, 1682, of all the remainder of Fenwick's land in ~'lest Jersey, with the ex­ ception of 150,000 acres which Fenwick reserved for himself. Subsequent grants were made by Penn, after that date thru his agent, Ja.nes Nevill. John Fenwick, founder of Salem Tenth, died December, 1683, only eight years after his arrival.

SALEl-1 - ) County seat of Salem County, N. J. NEW' SALEM - ) "Salem, or S'..rampe Towne, where Major Fenwyck satt SWAM:PE TO'NNE - ) downe" (NJA-1:283) The town of Salem was laid out in 1675; was incorporated in 1695; and the City of Salem was incorporated in 1858. It is the oldest permanent English settlement along the Delaware River. The old streets of Salem. In an article prepared by Thomas Shourds and read before the Salem County Historical Society, the laying out of the town of Salem is described as follows: "Fenwick turned his attention, soon after his arrival in 1675, to the laying out of the town, ~hich he intended should be the capital of South Jersey. A street was opened ninety feet in width from Salem Creek, running a so'J.therly course ( Jest Broadway) until it intersected another intended street, commencing at Fenwick Creek (Market St.); the said street was intended to be 50 SALEM (Continued) 100 ft. in width and to extend to the town marsh; unfortunately, that part was never opened (now New Market St.). The part running to Fenwick Creek was not opened the full width by: many feet; the front of St. John's Episcopal Church being on the line of the street. From Wharf St. ( ilest Broadway) and Bridge St., (Market St.) another street was opened about the same width, running south-easterly two or three different courses to the corner of Thomas Killingsworth's land (now East Broadway), then southward to Nevill st., thence south by east to a branch of Fenwick's Creek, called Little Creek, where a wharf was built and called the Town 1harf." The eastern part of Salem was, in t~1e early history of the town, one of the busiest and most important sections. An old map shows three streets in 1694 that are now out of existence Mill St., Nevill st., and Angello St. Fenwick, or Town St., so-called on this map (later East Broadway), instead of coming to a dead s;op at the head of town, continued on until it joined Nevill St., which appears to have been a continuation of the Maddentown road from the present John Pedrick farm toward what is now Quinton Road, which was not opened until 1809. Angello st. was a continuation of Kent st., at an_angle, to Angello's Causeway and Keasbey meadows, and was the old road to Quinton. Nevill St. (Maddentown road) was shown as "ye st yt goes to Cohansey and road to Alloway." Mill St. ran from the Quaker l:eck road to what is now Quinton road, probably in the neighborhood of East View Cemetery, finally joining Nevill St. { sc::SCR-2A: 107) "1685/6, Jan. 20. Pa.tent to Thomas Kent, of New Salem, glov_er, for 19 acres there, late in the tenure of Peeter Cornelious, between the street to Mr. Nevill 1 s plantation, the street to the 1 Town Landing, a little oreek 7 running by Nevill s Landing and George Deacon." (NJA-21:343) Yiggins Corner (also at one time called Job's Corner) was the head of East Broadway where Old York St. and New York St. (now Keasbey St.) joined the intersection to Nevill st. A deed from Robert Johnson to Henry Dennis calls for "lots on street leading from the gaol to Wiggins Corner." (UD-1192) Kent st., or Kent Corner (someti~es called Nittinger's Corner) was probably so-named for Erasmus Kent, who owned a farm in the vicinity and kept a public house in his mansion at the corner. This neignborhood was the site of one of the first mills for grinding grain. Keasbey Creek, e21.rly called Mill Creek, which was a branch of Fenwick Creek, was a navigable stream as far as Town Landing, which was somewhere in the vicinity of Nevill St., for it is shown above that James Nevill had a landing on his property t~ere. This street was evidently quite a residential spot, for in addition to the Nevill plantation, George Deacon resided at 11 Deacon's Pytle 11 and John Fayne owned 11 Payne's Pytle" ( pytle :neaning a sl!lall field or enclosure). Richard Gibbs and others also owned property on this street. Ten-acre Creek bordered so □ e of these properties. In this vicinity also stood the spot called Gallows Tree Corner. A 1771 q_u.i t-clai.n from Edward Keasbey to Richard Smith, of Elsinborough described the property as 11 beginning at the gallo;-rs tree standing in the town bounds". A public notice published in 1787 mentions the 11 high:vay leading from the old wharf (foot of .fest Broadway) by the Court aouse, to iigglns Corner, and from thence to tDe line of Elsenboroush, the street or road by .filliam Tyler (spelled Tiler), to the corner comDonly called Gallo-ifs Tree Corner. 11 ·.fhile in this section of town, we will mention Black ~-~aria bridge. A short distance out of Yor~e St., on the Hancock's B:t:..d ,_;e road, but within the bounds of Ss..lem, formerly stood a stone bridge known as 3lack ~aria Bridge, so-na~e~·~or an old colored woman w::o lived 1n a log house nearby. l'he bridge is no lon=er in existence - an iron culvert having taken over its duty. .51 SALE.M ( Continued) East Broadway was early called Town St. , Ne~.-1 .rllmrf St. , Fenwick St., and then East Broadway. A later nickna:ne of Bull Run has been given this east ~"lard of Salem. West Broadway was first called Salem Street, and so-written in very early deeds. Afterl'lard, from t::-rn Cot1rt .:louse to the Creek it was ·Bradaway or Bradway Street, then Old lharf Street, an~ finally West Broadway. A survey, containing Fenwick's signature, date~ Dec. 30, 1677 11 is for a "lott in town of New Salem on Bradaway St. ( SC~SU-11) SCHSU-110 also mentions Bradway St. An early survey (no date) calls for five lots in Salem sold to Edward "Caisbe". Front St. was first known as Mill St., and was opened about the time t:1e Penn I s Neck Bridge was built in 1810. Before ti12t time, a ferry connected Salem and Penn's :::lecl-c with the terminu$ at SUpawna. The spot on the Salem stiore was a sandy, shelving beach, known as David B. Smit~1•s Landing. Norti:1 Bend is in the vicinity of Front St. The origin of the name is not known. North Second St. was known as Lawson St. Third St. was Penrose St. Fourth St.was then Third, and at one time called Bond St. possibly because Jesse Bond, sc:.1oolmaster, lived on the corner. Fifth St. was known as Fourth, also as Tyler st., and the north end as Penn St. One map sho~s the entire street as Penn st. Star Corner or Star Hall Corner. Previous to 1850, the corner of Bridge and Old W'ha.rf St., nDw Broadway and Market Sts. was called Jones Corner. The name. Star Corner came about in this manner: There was a clothing store on ~-iarket St. in Philadelphia, owned by S. Ashton, who displayed a large star as a sign. This "star man" as he advertised himself, came to Salem and leased part of the Jones store on the corner. After making changes to the building he erected a flag-pole and hung out the star sign. From that time on it has been called Star Corner. Seventh St. was Parrott St., after William Parrott, who lived on the corner where the Ru'asey Building stood. For a short time it was also called Livingston s~. Johnson St. In the year 1788, Robert Johnson made applica­ tion tq the surveyors of Salem and adjacent townships to alter the public road leading from the main street to Keasbey's Dam. This was granted and "hereafter to be called Johnson St. 11 Guilford Hall, of course, had been built by his ancestor, Richard Johnson, many years before, in 1687. This house stands at #1 Johnson St., t~1e old foundations of which are still in existence. A survey map dated 1809 (SC:JSM-76) gives a diagram of lots sold off by R. G. Johnson on Broadway, with a cute little drawing, in red, of Guilford Hall. According to a newspaper article, Johnson St., at one time was called Bradway st. Penny Hill. This is the highest point in that section of the town east of Johnson St. The origin of the name is not known, but probably jokingly called that by reason of its puny height. Deed UD-1195 describes land of Henry Dennis "near Penny Hill''. The Second Baptist Church stood on t~e south side of East Broadway at Penny Hill in the 1850's. Mechanic St. was that portion of Eaki~ St. between Church and Wesley. Margaret's Lane, later South Street, now Walnut St. According to Shourds, this street derived the name Margaret's Lane from an old lady by the name of Margaret who lived there in a small tenant house owned by William Parrott. His tract was called the "Prairies", being at that time a wild, unsettled section. Margaret's Lane school-house of ancient days was supposed to have been a one-story structure, ·exact location~t now known. In the basement of this school, one Peggy ~argarets is supposed to have killed her baby. S.A.L3~~ (Continued) Sicklerville. At the foot of lalnut St. stood, until recently, a collection of houses moved there by Zaccheus B. Sickler nearly a century ago. Among them was tie old Hornblower house, which stood on Broadway near Fifth. New Market St. This street, from Broadway to Jesley, was formerly the Ingham orchard, and once called George's Lane, named for George Hazelwood, whose wife's name, Margaret, was thought by some to have been the reason dalnut St. was called l,1argaret 's Lane. Chestnut St. Much of the land for this street was donated to the City by the heirs of Thomas Jones Yorke in 1886. Oak St. This was once called Cmt Lane, but probably officially nailled for tte old oak at t~e head of the street in the Friends' Burying Ground. Griffith St. At first called New Street a:1d New Bridge St. It was opened in 1810, the sa:ne year the new Fenn' s "'.'Jeck Bridge was built. Grant St. was for~erly known as East Griffith St. Green St. There was once a street by this name at the foot of Oak St. ihat is left of it runs between Oak and Chestnut Sts. and is called Morningside Lane. Market St. was formerly called Bridge St. One of the first deeds, however, called it Main St. The covered bridge at the foot of the street was built in 1831, replacing previous bridges. Originally a ferry crossed here. The foot of r-~arket St. was another busy spot in tne town of Salem, containing stores, warehouses, tail~r shops, shoe shops and other business establishments. Ivey Point, the home of John Benwick, stood nearby on Fenwick Creek. See Ivey Point. Extent Lots. A tract of land was laid out in lots between Broadway and the covered bridge, with the exception of the Court House acre and t~1e Episcopal Church lot. These "extent" lots were divided between Robert Johnson and Samuel Hedge by deed of division in 1784. The Johnson home, now one of the County Buildings, was built on Lot No. 3 in 1803. (SCHSM-86) :1a1 t House Lot. The significance of this name is not known. It was located where the Friends' .Meeting House now stands, at the head of ";ialnut St. Point Pleasant. This name was applied to the bank at tne foot of Seventh and Eighth Sts. on Keasbey or Fenwick Creek. The area at the foot of Sev~nth St. and the railroad tracts was known as Tickletown. Among the less dignified names in Salem - an area of Lower Fifth St. was at one ti:ne called Yello;.r Hell; and I-lurderer's Row was a line of boat houses along Fenwick Creek at the foot of the Salem Glass iforks (now Anchor Hocking).

The stretch of road from the duPont Plant 1 to Carney's Point has long been known as Shell Road. It was the custom in t~e days before bard-surfacing to have the roads ma.de up of whole oyster s11ells, w-hi ch were gradually ground down by the passing traffic. A newly-laid road of oyster shells was a trial to man and beast, to say nothing of the early automobiles. SHEfPARD 1 S CORNERS - Elsinboro Township.

(~JJA-21:542) 55 SMITHFIELD - Much doubt seems to exist as to ts1e exact location of Smithfield (or Smythfield), the plantation of John Smith and his wife Martha (Craftes) Smith, who came with John Fenwick on the "Griffin" in 1675. T~1e N. J. Archives show tt1at on April 30, 1675, before leaving England, Fenwick patented to John Smith, mealman (miller) and wife Martha, a 1,000 acre tract to be laid out in 'tTest Jersey. (NJA-21:560) Also by deed June 7, 1675, John Edridge, of England, conveyed to John Smitn, mealman, a tract of 1,000 acres in Fenwick's Colony. In an article written by Lewis D. Cook and published tn "The American Genealogist" October, 1959, based on source material on Smith of Smithfield, Mr. Cook states that the patented tract was laid out on the north side of ~unmo~th !~ver (Alloway Creek), some five miles south of the town of SGlem, and having settled thereon, John Smith called his tract ":Smithfield". This challenges the statement made by Cushing & Sheppard that John Smith of Sm1 thfield purchased one-half the Hedgefield tract in l\f.annington and the place became known as Smithfield. The sixth lot of the Lefevre-Pledger tract, as stated, was situated in Quaker Neck, between Fenwick and Keasbey Creeks, the "south line being coincidental with ti.1e north line of Smithfield." (SOHM:P-8) It would see:n from these statements that S:nithfield must have been located on the north bank of Allo~ay Creek some­ where between Hancock I s Bridge and -~uinton. A local historian leaned toward the assumption that it must have been somewhere near Quinton, and that Smithfield Street in that village took its name from the plantation. John Smith, of Smithfisld, lived to be 107 years old~ In the year 1730, his grand-daughter, Elizabeth Smith Hall, wrote on the margin of the family Bible: "This day John Smith is 106 years old. 11 He was born in Diss, County of Norfolk, England, July 26, 1623.

(SCHSU-88) WINDEE CORNER - See Sheppard's Corner. WINDHAM - ) Elsinboro Township. Historians disagree on the WINDHAM CREEK - ) arrival of Robert Windham, for whom the section of Elsinboro was named. Some say he never came to Fenwick's Colony, although an early passenger list shows him as having arrived on the "Griffin". These various and sundry lists, how-ever, have not always proved too reliable. It has also been stated that he ~as a survivor of the unfortunate New Haven Colony. Shourds states that Windham did live in Elsinboro and left one daughter, Ann, who married Richard Darkin. Robert :findham' s name does not appear in ·the Archives regarding property transactions, which may be one reason for the belief that he never came here. The section called Windham appears first in the records in 1680: "Assignment. 1680, Sept. 25. 1villiam Malster, of Windham, Township of New Salem, lest Jersey, and wife Katherine, to Roger Milton, of New Salem, yeoman, for :;1ndham Neck, on Virkins Kill, alias Salem Creek, and a small run emptying into it, between Samuel Nicholdson, Edward Champney and Marcus Elger ••• " (NJA-21:574) "1691, Aug. 24.

(NJA-21:596) A small stream running thru this section of Elsinboro was known as Windham Creek. It was formerly the second stream crossing Tilbury road. ifISTARBURG - Alloway Township. Also called "Glass :-Iouse Farm". ~~o miles northeast of Alloway, on Commissioner's Pike, is the site of the first successful glass factory in the original colonies. In 1738, Caspar ~istar, of Philadelphia (originally from Hilspach, Prussia) purchased of Amos Fenton 100 acres of land bordering on a branch of Alloway Creek, on which tract he erected a factory, a general store, work·1ens I dwellings, and a □ ansion house. It was situated on what was then called "the 11 great road to Pilesgrove • The factory ~nenufactured window glass, various kinds of bottles and flasks, pitchers, plates, sweetmeat jars, and ot:1er useful i terns. Fancy glass horns were also made and given as souvenirs to the then popular sleighing parties. Not a vestige of this once busy industry is now in evidence - the rolling green hills having again taken over. The New Jersey Commission of '-iistoric Sites erected the following marker: "listarburg Glass :t7orks - Allo·11ay. Here Oas par Ji star began the manufacture of glass in 1739. His son Richard carried on the business till tne Revolution made it unprofitable. This was the beginning of an industry important in Souti1 Jersey for 150 years." i'TOOD.MER.E - Quinton Township. This beautiful lake on tl1e Jericho road has, in times past, had a number of names - Easterville; Chandler's Mill; Wood's Up~er ~ill; at one time Elkinton's Pond; and now ifoodmere. A grist mill was built in 1740 and called Cjandler's Mill until purchased by John S. iood, when it became known as 1ood 1 s Upper Mill. Johns. Jood's daughter, Adeline, married Thomas S1nn1ckson, and their children, John and l'-1ary Sinnickson, in- 65 JOOD:i•IERE (Continued) herited the property. Upon the death of her brother, Mary Sinnickson beca:ne the sole owner of iiood I s Upper Mill and the one at Jericho. Both of these mills were burned on the same night, January 7, 1899, by an incendiary, with great financial loss to Miss Sinnickson. This body of water nas once called Elkinton's Pond, which name was later given the lake near Alloway from which the City of Salem derives water. "tfood I s Upper Mill property finally passed to the ownership of a group of s~lem residents, who erected summer cottages and gave the name of noodmere to the vicinity.
