Dear friends, Here's the latest update on the town name changes. Sorry for the delay, but a certain toilet sprang a tank leak and flooded the bathroom and hall. Took a weekend of work to clean up the mess, replace the toilet and dry out the carpet. Fell behind on the email. Please look the list over carefully, especially the "Poplar" experts. I hope I made the right interpertation on the location discussion that occurred over this entry. We've picked up several Camden county entries, but sorely lack in the Mercer county area. Considering Mercer was pieced together from so many other counties, it would be helpful if we could pick up some of the changes. Thanks again to all who have contributed to the list.
