Thanks to a very rapid response from a helpful lister, I became aware of an
1834 Gazeteer for Hunterdon County which includes the following text...

Flemington
post town of Hunterdon co., situate at the northern extremity of the valley,
lying between Rock mountain and Mount Carmel, and near the southeast foot of
the latter, ...

Mount Carmel
a mountain hamlet of Amwell township, Hunterdon co., 3 miles northwest from
Flemington; contains a tavern and some 4 or 5 dwellings, and a store. The
soil around it is very clay, cold, and at present not very productive, but
it is improvable by the use of lime.

Q. Where is Mount Carmel?

On 22 August 1757, Daniel Griggs made his will:

In the Name of God Amen I Daniel Griggs of the
Township of Amwell in the County of Hunterdon and Western
Division of the Province of New Jersey being Sick and
weak of Body but of Sound and Perfect mind mind [sic] and
Memory praise be therefore given unto God for the Same do
make and ordain this my present Last Will and Testament
in manner and forme following (that is to Say)
...
I Give unto my Two Sons named John and Joacham all
that Tract of Land I purchased of Charles Cox lying on
mount Carmel to part Share and Share alike in Quantity
and Quallity to be for them their Heirs and Assigns for
Ever

I was unable to locate Mount Carmel using www.topozone.com.

Thanks for your help,

Perry
