I have a 1926 book written by Elise Lathrop titled "Early American Inns and Taverns" . Different chapters cover different states and their taverns, and there are even some photographs. On page 129 she writes "The old village of Bound Brook was on the pre-Revolutionary stage route, and an old military maps names two taverns here: Tunison's, and the Bull's Head, near the present town of Somerville. William Kelley's At the Sign of the Buck, Bound Brook, was advertised in the New York Gazette and Mercury in November, 1772.... Posiah Stanbury had a tavern in Bound Brook, and here, too, was the Black Horse, kept by a man who told one guest that he was "not only an innkeeper, but also weaver, shoemaker, farmer, farrier, gardener, barber, leach and doctor, and when I cannot help myself, a soldier." Mrs. Lathrop lists about 200 taverns in New Jersey by location. This is the only Black Horse she has listed in NJ. I have no idea where Bound Brook is......it may not be in Salem County, and your Black Horse Tavern may be another place entirely. I am happy to do lookups in this book if anyone else wants to know about taverns in NJ. Jane
