Was it perhaps a Dutch settlement, etc.? Anne- You probably already know about this but Place Names in Salem County says: CLAMPITT -- The exact location of this spot has not as yet been found. "1690, Aug. 10. Assignment by Hugh Hutching, of Virgin Spring, Salem County, husbandman, to Roger Carary, of Clampitt, said County, 'of ye within written deed.'" (NJA-21-:596) The booklet also tells us that Virgin Spring was in Mannington Twp., Salem Co. Joan
