Hi Dan,

From the book "Hunterdon County Place Names", Phyllis D'Autrechy, Hunterdon County Cultural and Heritage Commissions, Flemington, New Jersey, copyright 1992.

RAVEN ROCK, Delaware Township. This settlement on SR 29 near the boundary of Kingwood Township and opposite Bull's Island, was part of a 300 acre tract which John Ladd owned in 1721. It was known as Saxtonville (when this was part of Amwell Township) being named for Nathaniel Saxton who purchased land here about 1812. Known also as Saxtons Vill in 1817, the longer version was in popular use at least until 1908. (Deed Bk. 4:6; 23:417; 36:6; 37: 10; RR 2:197; Beers: 65; Snell: 377; Cornell map of 1852; GG: 233; Docket 3912)

Regards, Bill

Can anyone tell me where "Raven Rock" is?
If it's a town, does it still exist?

Thank you,
