Does anyone know anything about Joseph Sharp, b. abt 1804 in NJ, a carpenter, died January, 1850, in Mannington twp? He died about the same time as my 4ggfather, Lewis Hewes, in the same place of the same cause, strong drink. It shows Lewis Hewes as dying in December and Joseph Sharp dying in January on the 1850 mortality schedule. They are listed right next to each other and I'm guessing they may have been drinking together, maybe on New Years eve. Does anyone know if there were any newspapers at this time that might have something about the deaths or somewhere else I might find more info? Thanks, Jeanne

Does anyone know who were the parents of William Gosling the innkeeper of the Black Horse Tavern in Woolwich ? Jerilyn,a "Gosling chaser"

Thanks Val -- you're the best! It would be the one in Woolwich Twp, Gloucester Co. since that's where he and his family show up in the census data. Interestingly, I have always suspected a connection with the LACYs to the Goslings in Woolwich but have been unable to connect them yet. I know about Gen. John Lacey but can't find the link to him (Bucks Co, PA. and Burlington Co.,NJ LACYs). The General is buried in Pemberton. Hope to someday get that link to the Gloucester and Salem County clan. Regards, Joan In a message dated 9/27/03 7:01:21 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Joan, There is no Black Horse listed in the Place Names section of GCHS Publications Special No. 1 ( Bible Records, Place Names etc) but I found one in Woolwich Twp, Gloucester county, p. 148, in Old Inns and Taverns in West Jersey by Charles S. Boyer. "Black Horse Tavern in Woolwich Township was established by William Gosling shortly after 1800 and continued by him until 1840. The original tavern burned down in 1822 and was immediately rebuilt. The name Black Horse was a common one, I see it used also in Trenton and Burlington. BTW, upon cross checking the index for Lacey, I found the following entry on p. 63: Pemberton ( New Mills) Pemberton, located on the Rancocas Creek, about six miles east of Mount Holly, is one of the older settlements in Burlington County. It was originally called Hampton-Hanover, because the village proper was partly in Northampton Township and partly in Hanover Township, the Rancocas Creek being the dividing line. When a gristmill was built in the village, in 1752, to replace an older one about a half a mile to the northeast, the place was called New Mills, a name which it retained until 1826, when it was changed to Pemberton after James Pemberton, its largest landowner. In 1801, post offices were established at Burlington, Mount Holly and New Mills, only being exceeded , in point of time by Tuckerton and Atsion. The first Methodist Episcopal Church building erected in West Jersey was at New Mills, the original building there being erected in 1775. As early as 1818, John N. Offley, had a factory in New Mills where cut-nails and brads were made. Among the Revolutionary heroes of the village was General John Lacey, the Quaker General and hero of the Battle of Crooked Billet ( Pennsylvania)." Boyer goes on to list several taverns of that place, then follows with those in Columbus, which was earlier called Black Horse. Val
