Poorhouses of this time period were mostly administered at the township
level. Your best bet might be to locate Township meeting minutes. Some that
I've seen in the Burlington area include such things as so-and-so is
referred to the poorhouse (poorfarm) and monthly or annual accounts.

County


I suspect it's possible that my gg grandfather, Abraham LAKE, lived in an
almshouse or poorhouse at some point during his upbringing. He was born
in 1796 in Hunterdon Co, probably in the vicinity of present day Hampton.

Does anyone know of a poorhouse or an almshouse which would have existed
in that vicinity during that time period? Are there pertinent records
that exist?
