The 1961 reprint sells for as little as $1.25.

I could only find one mention of "Shannock" in 1845 and it was in a "for sale" item on page 72 under a date of Oct. 22, 1845. I also ran "meeting house" with no bites and "meeting" which got a bunch of hits but none associated with a death! > > Perhaps the year is not correct? Please recheck the date and let me know and I'll see if I can help. > > The word "Shannock" is associated with "Neshanic" in the Hunterdon County Place Names book that is on CD #4. See page > 30. But that links the 2 words in reference to the Neshanic River. The town of Neshanic is a few miles due East of Flemington and is located in Somerset County. Unless someone else knows more about it than I, we might presume that "Shannock Meeting House" could be the Neshanic Meeting House! > > Anyone out there know more about this? > > Regards, > Bill > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: [email protected] > To: Hunterdon County Rootsweb Mailing List > Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 7:22 PM > Subject: [NJHUNTER] Shannock Meeting House > > > Does anyone know where Shannock Meeting House is located?
