The Town of Fellowship
This place was (or is?) in Mt. Laurel Township. The first home here was owned by a David Claypole; in the 1880s that home was owned by a George Roberts. The second home was erected by Abraham Matlock. In the 1880s, there were three prominent farms that made up most of the village--they were owned by Mahlon Haines, Carlton Evans, and Charles Hugg. There were also two stores, run by Thomas Roberts and Joseph Fish. With that information, I went to the 1880 census to find Joseph Fish, on the assumption that I could isolate at least some of the homes from Fellowship to determine who lived there. The census enumerator made no such distinction, so it's difficult to know where Fellowship began and ended in 1880. But Joseph Fish's information was there. Naturally, the writing is unbearable on that portion of the census, but Fish was 48 years old in 1880 and worked as a grocer. His wife's name looks like Emma Jane, age 42. They had two children with them as well: Emily B., age 23...
