Allentown
This is not the famed Allentown of Pennsylvania, nor the town in Monmouth County so well known in this part of the state. It is a far lesser known town, a section of Bass River Township. The following description of the town appeared in the Bass River Gazzette in Oct 1998 and is here reprinted with the author's permission: "Allentown begins about a mile north of Route 9 on North Maple Avenue (previously called Allentown Road) and runs to the old Bass River Hotel. It was originally settled by Robert Allen, and for many years his descendants inhabited most of the homes in this area" To date, this is the only mention I've ever come across of this place.

New Egypt Press 31 Mar 1905: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Davis entertained Martha Evans on Sunday. Miss Helen Wallace spent Sunday and part of last week with Dr. and Mrs. John Forsythe. Miss Reba Evans spent Sunday with her parents in Mt. Holly. We are glad to note that George Forsythe is quite recovered from his recent illness enough to take his accustomed walk to the post office. George Van Wess is quite in demand now among the young ladies in town as he purchased a new buggy last week. A party was given by Elizabeth Tilton on Friday evening at her home near Jacobstown. Young people from Crosswicks, Chesterfield, Allentown, and Jacobstown were present. The company was entertained a large part of the evening by Percy Borden with his up to date graphphone.
