In my last post to the question " Did it have a post office?" and were it site is, I just like to add the used of the name "THE SHREWSBURY SEVENTH DAY BAPTISTS " is right for the 1700s as Shrewsbury was all of Monmouth Co over time parts became other towns until the Town of SHREWSBURY is about 8 to 10 miles a way for the Church site were I live in Tinton Falls separated from Shrewsbury about 1950, my town was first called New Shrewsbury. In 1976 I was part of the Group that change the name New Shrewsbury to Tinton Falls . to this day Tinton Falls is coved by 7 Post offices . the Sit is in Wall NJ. to day .

Greetings to all New Jersey GhostTowners. In order to stimulate my quiet lists I'm writing to ask some questions of you the subscribers. No one on the list bites or says Boo to any questions or comments so feel free to write and talk with others. There are 37 subscribers to this list at the moment. Where do you live? What Ghost Town or area are you interested in? What county was your Ghost Town located in? Are there any remnants left of the town? Foundations? Buildings? Cemeteries? Do you have any information about the time line of the town? Did it have a post office? If a cemetery is there is it currently maintained? Has it been surveyed and is it posted on the internet? What's the link? Do you know if the State has posted a Historic Sign or Marker noting the town or area? Please cite any sources (book, publication, family history) you find the information in. Thank you all. This is your mail list and it only works when you post and others answer and add to it. Fred - Mail List Administrator Frederick M.

I am trying to find a place called Washington Neck. It existed in the mid 1800's and I believe it was in Gloucester County. Has anyone heard of this place or know where I could find information about it. Janet ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

I am sorry folks. The addresses did not come thru correctly in my past emails. I will try again. I finally found a good site for ghostowns in New Jersey. Am sorry I goofed up so badly in my previous emails. [www.ghostowns.com/states/nj/nj.htm]

Click here: Ghost Towns of New Jersery Here is the link to all the Ghost Towns of New Jersey. I should have sent this first instead of the individual links. Enjoy all of them, Janet

Click here: Gloucester Furnace - Ghost Town Another ghost town in Atlantic County.

Click here: Atsion - Ghost Town This is a South Jersey ghost town that I found. Janet

Click here: Asbury park - Ghost Town This is one ghost town I found. After spending many summer vacations here in a beautiful active family vacation spot, I was shocked to go back there in the 1980's to discover a deserted beach town. It was very eerie. Janet

Hi Lorna, I have been searching the internet for ghost towns in South Jersey and have only been able to come up with the Pine Barrens and Batsto. Seems to me the Pine Barrens are not a ghost town. Generations of people still live in the Pine Barrens. There may be an original Batsto which is not the restored Batsto but I haven't been able to find any good information on it.

RootsWeb is in the process of switching over to new upgraded list management software. This list has been switched. For list subscribers, the changeover should be smooth. The changes primarily involve the administration tools that keep the list running behind the scenes. The list name is changing from LISTNAME-L to just LISTNAME. So you may subscribe or unsub by sending your request to: LISTNAME-request@rootsweb.com with one exception. If you wish to subscribe in Digest mode you must send your subscribe request to LISTNAME-D-request@rootsweb.com . You may also continue sending your requests as you always have--either will work. The word SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE must be included in the subject and may also be included in the message body. Digest subscribers will notice some changes to the list digests. New instructions will be added to the digests -- please read them. In addition, the digest volume and issue number may be different (out of sequence) from what you had been receiving. If your digests arrive in a different format than you are used to and you would like it changed, contact me privately at the list admin address: LISTNAME-admin@rootsweb.com. Also, if you run into any unusual or confusing occurrences with mail from this list that could possibly be related to the changeover, let me know. If you use email headers to filter list mail to a special folder in your email program you may need to check whether your filters will need tweaking under the new system. If you previously subscribed to the list in both L and D modes using the same email address you will find that you are no longer subbed in Digest mode. The new software doesn't permit the same address to be subbed in both L and D modes. Therefore, if you wish to receive both modes, you will need to subscribe to the digests using a different email address. Please continue to send your queries, data, and responses to the list as usual. It is a great time to post a new query to try to break down those brick walls. Thanks!
