Thanks, Lori: I know the town of Franklin is in Sussex, as we have visited the mines there. But I think the forge was more near to Dover or Rockaway. In the Morris Co. History that is on the NJ Morris site, there is a chapter about the forges and furnaces in the county and Franklin Forge is mentioned, but it is still unclear to me where it was located. If you find out anything more, please let me know. Many thanks. Ruth Clark [email protected] Poinciana, FL
