1 Andrews-Bartlett Homestead Proposed Historic District Supplemental Images Figure 1: 1859 Parry Map of Burlington County, Tuckerton Inset The Andrews-Bartlett House appears as the residence of N. [Nathan] Bartletts (sic) and the Edmund Bartlett-Captain Zebedee Rockhill House appears as the residence of E. [Edmund] Bartletts (sic). No ownership is attributed to the Saltbox House, and the square just south of it probably represents the former castor oil mill. Note the ship yard along the creek on Bartlett s property and the extension of Bartlett Lane to Bartlett Avenue which led to the ship yard. N Andrews-Bartlett Homestead Supplemental Images 1

2 Figure 2: 1876 Scott Map of Burlington County, Tuckerton Inset On this map, the Andrews-Bartlett House shows as the residence of Miss Bartlett, even though it was occupied by the three unmarried Bartlett sisters; the Bartlett-Rockhill House is shown as the residence of A. [sic] Rockhill, and the Saltbox House is shown as the residence of B. [Benjamin] Jones, a sailor who was renting the property at the time from Oliver Shinn, its owner. Neither the castor oil mill building nor the ship yard is shown. Andrews-Bartlett Homestead Supplemental Images 2

3 Figure 3: 1878 Woolman & Rose Atlas of the Jersey Coast, Tuckerton The Andrews-Bartlett House still shows as Miss Bartlett while the Bartlett-Rockhill House is shown as the residence of A. Gaskill; this may be a mistake on the cartographer s part since Zebedee Rockhill still owned the property and appears as living there in every census taken during his ownership. There is no name attached to the Saltbox House, and Bartlett Lane no longer extends to Bartlett Avenue. Andrews-Bartlett Homestead Supplemental Images 3
