| 释义 |
In the late 1780s, Thomas Carpenter (1752-1847) moved to Carpenter's Landing and established a store and lumber business.[2] In the 1860s, it was described as "a place of considerable trade in lumber, cordwood, etc., and contains one tavern, two stores, 30 dwellings and a Methodist church".[3] The landing is said to have been named either for a man named Carpenter who built boats at the site during its mercantile boom days,[4] or Edward Carpenter (son of Thomas Carpenter and descendant of Samuel Carpenter of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) who owned the Heston & Carpenter Glass Works at nearby Glassboro, New Jersey in 1786[5][6] in partnership with Col. Thomas Heston, his wife's nephew.[7] See also
