We found it a long time ago and think it was part of our Shepherd Farm as the only stones on the ground was Shepherds. Last time there nothing but stones thrown to the side. I noticed an Iron fence yard by the road and thought I took pictures, however can't find only the Shepherd stones. Did find the notes I made of some of the people in there. Says there are a least dozen stones there. I did put down these names but not info, Rittenhouse, Holmes, Bray & Pegg. One Pegg stone I copied was Jacob Pegg son of Mahon and Eliz. Pegg . He died 10 July 1925 and bn 18 Dec. 1842. My interest in the Peggs..... Dinah Hockenbury Pegg and hus. Mahlon, was because she must have boarded Wm. Shepherd and Eliz as they died at her place. Graveyard is at Slacks Corner perhaps someone would go look?? Norma Thanks for getting back to me. I live in northern Delaware Twp, Hunterdon County, and come across the Pegg name from time to time. I'm particularly interested in Daniel Pegg, who seems to have been the innkeeper of the Boarshead Inn before the Revolution. I have his death as 1778, without a will. His wife was Catherine (possibly a Buchanan) and he had nine children. I don't know who his parents were or where he came from. If you are interested in this family I will send you the rest of my information. Marfy

Does anyone know the exact location of Slack's Corner? It is not listed in the book "Hunterdon County Place Names"; however, Slacktown is listed. I am in the process of amending the referenced book with additions from the Hunterdon Gazette and if someone has the information, I'll add this one! Thank you, Bill
