Roz and All, From Snell's "History of Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey" c. 1881 page 351 McAfee Valley The earliest purchaser at this point, so far as can be learned, was John Wilkins, who was for a long period possessor of a tract of which 2.40 acres was conveyed to Ebenezer Townsend in 1826. There still remained 7.71 acres, which was purchased by Samuel McAfee, who conducted a blacksmith and wagon shop, and was for a time the oracle of the neighborhood; from him the hamlet derived its name. Mr. McAfee sold to Robert Martin and wife, who conveyed to William Benjamin, from whom the property was transferred to Stephen Smith, who was for a brief time the owner, and later sold to William Simpson, who in turn conveyed to William Simpson Jr., the present (1881) owner. From other research I did, Mr. Samuel McAfee only lived in the area still called McAfee for approximately ten years. This is probably the same Samuel McAfee who was born 1792-1796 and married circa 1833 to Hannah Riggs according to the LDS IGI information.
