Paul;
Thanks for the reply. Back Neck is now a crossroads about 4 miles SW of
Fairton. Apparently there is an intersection there where there is a road
named Back Neck Rd. I heard from several people who use to live there in the
30s and 40s. The area leads towards the river and marshland. I have a book
called "Forgotten Towns of Southern New Jersey," by Henry Charlton Beck.
Chapter XXV,pg.191, is called "Fairfield: Fairton: New England
Crossroads" and gives some good background on the early beginnings and
settlers of that area. Now, if I could just locate my Frank Scudder who was
located there in the mid to late 1800s and I believe, lived in Camden at the
turn of the century with his wife, Augusta Stevens Scudder. Thanks for
your interest and help. Joan Lacy Fitzsimmons in NJ
