New Jersey Courier 5 Oct 1876 Bass River has changed very little, during the last decade; yet increased attention to agriculture is manifest on every hand. Pretty farms, neat residences, and school houses that will compare favorably with localities much more pretentious, give evidence that the population is at once intelligent and industrious. The school house, associated with which are so many tender memories of lessons conned, and extreme elementary ideas worked in by the aid of old fashioned licking stimulators, seemed as of old, though, wearing a more modern appearance and a more euphoneous name than "Frogtown Schoolhouse." Miss Eva Robinson, a lady of desirable properties, is the present teacher, and I understand is doing a good work educationally. "Mr. Mark Adams has charge of the New Gretna school.

Everett House, 1875
The New Jersey Courier newspaper, on July 22nd 1875, reported on hotel owner G. O. Adams: The Everett House, G.O.Adams, proprietor, is nearly full....". I make note of this only as a possible connection to be explored between this man and the Adams who seem to have moved to Batsto, not very far from Tuckerton, at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Percy Adams
According to an article in the Batsto Citizen's Gazzette, vol. XXIII #2 and vol. XXIX #3, Percy lived at Batsto in 1954. He lived from 1904-1976, the son of Herbert and Mary Adams. He was the father of Elaine Rurdio and Nancy Wescoat; he moved to Batsto sometime after 1936

Ellis Adams
The information regarding this family comes from the publication of the Batsto Citizen's Committee, the Batsto Citizen's Gazzette, vol. XXXI, #4. Ellis Adams lived in Pleasant Mills in the early 1900s. He was married to Margaret McCoy, and together they were the parents of Margaret, Lillian, and Raymond Adams. I believe the source was an interview with a former resident of Pleasant Mills who was recalling some of the people that lived in Pleasant Mills when he was a child; I have at this time no other information on this family.
G.O. Adams of the Everett House
The New Jersey Courier newspaper, on July 22nd 1875, reported on hotel owner G. O. Adams: "The Everett House, G.O.Adams, proprietor, is nearly full....".

When I have time I shall endeavor to find this man on the Tuckerton census and provide more info on him and his family.
