I grew up right on the river.A big house that is still there(I think).Does the census have an address for the Russells?The house I grew up in was built about 1919(called the Summerill house) I think but there are a few houses also on the river that DuPont built that were called "Zeigler Tract", some of them were built in 1920s I think.It (the area) is called Helms Cove.Old name. Much of the "town" of Carneys Point was built by Dupont even some of the bigger houses.Carneys Point village.My grandmother & her family were found in the 1920 census in Carneys Point and my Grandparents on the other side also lived in a "plant"house or company house.(That house was where third base was on the YMCA/Babe Ruth baseball field)Carney.old name. Lots & lots of those houses and boarding houses do not exist now. Actually many of the "old" names in PennsGrove were really "old" NewCastle DE names etc.Salem County and Gloucester also. Like Locke...my hubby's business was on Locke Ave. Dolbow.Blohm. Sorenson PG I just didn't realize that my Carrow family was quite that old..by then they had followed DuPont across the river into NJ. In Colonial times it was easier to go a mile across the River than a few miles thru woods & swamps to worship, marry, trade or whatever. My Carrows (1670-80 MD/DE) were people who "followed the water" in the old country, which was Ireland as far as I can tell.They were sailers & oystermen. Kathy Carrow Ingram

Hi Kathy: As far as I know, my John J. Russell (wife was Nellie) purchased in 1915 property and buildings and it showed as 5 Russells Grove on the 1920 census. The listing is between 84 and 80 Delaware Ave. I believe there was a main bldg. and then some other on premises bldgs. or cottages that were also rented out because listed at 5 were my Russells and some boarders and John is listed as the owner. Then at 1, 3 and 4 Russells Grove were also people listed as renters. John sold the property in 1944. He was a widower on the 1930 census and listed between 78 and 86 Delaware Ave. The address area is sectioned off for his property and I can't make out the name. He later died in a hospital in Delaware. He was originally from Wilmington and his parents from Ireland. I went to the area last year since I live in Northern NJ and saw a large house and some small out buildings which I presumed were his. The house still looked okay but the other bldgs were falling down.
