Mike- Don't forget that Scotch Plains is inclusive not only to the Center of Town but also the South Side(which traditionally was rural). During the 1950-70's many of the old farms on the South Side were sold with housing developments built on the land. This area borders Clark Township, Plainfield,North Edison, Westfield(South Side)and the Town of Fanwood. A Historic Inn stood at the end of Martine Avenue-"at the fork in the road." It was demolished about 20 years ago with a diner built on site. Can't be certain if this is the possible Inn you're making reference to. I believe another Inn stood not far from the Stage House in the Center of Town. My Dad grew up in Scotch Plains in the 1920's-locals usually referred to these sites by family names who owned the structure at some point in time. My guess would be that the Stage House Inn was not always referred to with it's present name. susan NJ Miller wrote: > > Are the Ludlow and Ludlum familys of the Westfield area from one and the same > stock? > > Also I am reading that there were two stage coach houses in Scotch Plains in > the 1780's.
