Bakersville, NJ

The state census for Ocean Co., NJ lists a section of Manchester Township called "Bakersville". I've never heard of this place before, and there were only three occupied homes in it in 1915.
The three families on the census in 1915 were as follows:

GEORGE WITTERSCHEIR
He was born in May of 1890, and worked as a farmer. He lived with his wife, Mary (b. Jan 1889), and son, George, Jr. (b. Nov 1908). A woman named Ada Darcy lived in the same home. She was born in May of 1900; her father was from England, her mother from New York. Charles Darcy, b. Jun 1893, also lived in the house. It's not clear how any of these people are related Charles worked as a farm laborer in 1930.


IVINS COWAN
He was born in Dec of 1880 in New Jersey. His father was from Massachussets, his mother from New Jersey. In 1930, he worked as a farm laborer. His wife, Olive, was born in Feb 1884. (Both of her parents were from Pennsylvania). Three children lived with them:

Jennie Cowan, b. Aug 1909
Gerome Cowan, b. Oct 1911
Daniel Cowan, b. Jun 1913
I found Jennie and Olive on the 1920 census, living on Lakewood Road in Lakehurst.


WINSOOD(?) NICKOLAS
This fellow lived by himself. He was born in Germany in Jan 1853, and was a retired farmer.
