#8 Snake Hill, Hudson County, Secaucus That is the only one I recognize. My neck of the woods. Ann in Farmingdale, NJ In a message dated 5/16/2007 9:25:25 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: THE PLACE GAME While we are learning about the current county history, I thought I'd liven things up a bit, to see how informative you all might be about some of the places found in the State of New Jersey, as mentioned in the various Wills volumes of the NJ Archives series. In additon to the 'Index of Names of Persons' each volume also has an 'Index of Names of Places,' and so I've taken the liberty of finding and identifying some of them. Match the locations from the following list to a "county." I'll publish the answers and the wills in which they are found in a few days, amd then, if you folks like the idea, we'll do some more. My thinking is that, while we'll all learn about places, we'll get some insight of the people from those places.
