THE new subdivision, called Union
town, extending four blocks
north and south and five blocks east
and west in the southeast angle of
the Marlboro and Piscataway roads,
is shown. Half mile east of the
bridge and on the south side of the
Marlboro road is the house and land
of Benjamin Smith. The house stands
on hillock about 200 yards south
of the road. and is approached by a
curving drive.
Opposite and about 100 yards north
of the Marlboro road is the house of
Reuben Worthington, father of Col
Joe Worthington. For half a mile
east of the Smith and Worthington
homes the Marlboro road is bordered
by woods extending far to the south
and north. Leaving the woods, the
road passes the home of Mrs. Per-
kins. which is on the south side. Two
hundred yards beyond the Perkins
place is the junction of the Good
Hope road, Ridge road, walker road
and the road to Hamiltons gate"
now Alabama avenue. At the juno
ton is shown Good Hope Tavern
Just east of the tavern and facing
the Ridge road is the home of Thomas
Jenkins of Smoot.
Across the way-that is, on the
northwest side of the Ridge roads
the house of Henry Anderson, no
doubt son of Thomas Anderson.
About a third of a mile from Good
Hope Tavern, northeast along Ridge

There is also an affidavit from Is. ID.
Carpenter, long surveyor for the Dis
trict, that he was familiar with the
tract conveyed to Thomas Anderson
by George Naylor September 16, 1910,
and that about 1881. owing to the in
definite description in the deed of
1910, he made a survey, at which heirs
of George Naylor and Thomas IAnder-
son were present; that these metes
and bounds were embodied in deed
to David c. Fountain May &c. 1881,
and that the Jenkins barn stands
about where the Smoot barn men,
toned in the deed of 1870 stood.
Worthington's deed to Bliss was
dated June Il, 1890, and on June 16
that year, Bliss decided part of this
land-acreage not given-to Theo-
dore Havemeyer of New York, the
consideration being s1S,525.

cent years became the home of Col.
