Metecunk. Brick Township. Sometimes called Me- tedeconk, of Indian derivation, probably from the words "Mittig-Conek-a place where there is good, or thrifty, or living timber."
New Egypt. A highly esteemed citizen of this vi- cinity gives the following and only account I have heard,
127
ANCIENT MAPS AND CHARTS.
of the origin of the name of this place. A man named Cowperthwaite Kimmons, formerly owned a mill here, and the place was called " Kimmons' Mills." From the amount of corn raised and sold in this vicinity, people at a distance used to speak jokingly of "going to Egypt for corn," and this name thus applied, finally became generally adopted as appropriate for a place so noted for corn.
Collier's Mills. So called after a late proprietor, John Collier. Before him the mills were owned by a man named Shreves, and then called Shreves' Mills.
Cassville. After Lewis Cass. This place was for- merly called Goshen-(sometimes still called so.)
Downsrille. After Samuel Downs, a resident.
Goodluck. Goodluck Point at the month of Toms River, it is said, was so named by some man in ancient times who was pursued by an enemy seeking his life and who escaped by swimming his horse across the river ; as he landed he called the place "Goodluck," on account of his good luck in escaping. The village of Goodluck probably derives its name from Goodluck Point.
Double Creek. This Creek upon which Barnegat village is situated derives its name from its double mouth-having two mouths about half a mile apart.
Manchester. After Manchester in England, proba- bly so named by Wm. Torrey, principal proprietor of the village.
Burrsville. After Barzilla Burr, a prominent citi- zen there many years ago.
In regard to the origin of the Indian names in Ocean county I do not place much reliance upon the definitions given in the before-mentioned manuscript in the New Jersey Historical Library. I have given the meaning after careful examination of authorities, the most satisfactory of which I have found to be School- craft in one of the volumes of the Smithsonian Institute.
In regard to the Indian word answering to our word " place," or locality, I find it variously given in names de- rived from the Indians as, conck, konck, conk, cunk, onck,

con, on, un, ong, onk (Algonquin, Sankikan and Mohican.) DIFFICULTY OF OBTAINING EARLY HISTORY OF OCEAN COUNTY- " GOING OUT WEST."
About fifty or sixty years ago a large number of families from some of the villages along the bay, par- ticularly from Goodluck, Cedar Creek, and thereabout, removed to Redstone, Pennsylvania, then called "the Redstone country," considered and called at that day " Out West."
Among the families who then went were David Woodmansee, William Paul, Samuel Pierce, Abel and Jonathan Platt, John Smith, &c.
About forty years ago a large number of families removed from various places in our county to Genesee, New York, to Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and other States.
The number of " old residents " now living in our county is unusually small in proportion to the popula- tion ; the reasons are chiefly the removals out of the county of one class, and the attention given by so many of the remainder to coasting affairs which so notoriously shortens life.
It is stated by Societies in New York and other places devoted to benevolent efforts among seamen, that the average life of a sailor is but twelve years, from the time he commences following the sea.
In our county it is a striking fact that out of the large proportion of our population engaged in marine affairs that it is almost impossible to meet with an old sailor or sea captain ; I can hardly recall one such, who has followed the sea steadily. Accidents and disasters at sea, and fevers contracted in Southern ports are the occasion of this.
DIFFICULTY OF OBTAINING HISTORICAL INFORMATION OF OCEAN COUNTY.
Probably no county in the State presents greater obstacles in the way of collecting historical information than does Ocean county, for the following reasons :
Our ancient local records are at Freehold, Mon-

month county (43 miles from Barnegat) or at Perth Am- boy some 80 or 90 miles distant ; the distance of these places, the expensive traveling and other expenses, pre- sent one difficulty.
Public Libraries at New York. Newark, Trenton and other places so distant and inconvenient.
The county of Ocean being one of the largest in territory in the State, is one of the most difficult to travel, through want of public conveyances, heavy roads, &c., rendering it inconvenient to travel for local tradi- tion, &c.
Probably fewer old persons, natives of the county, reside in Ocean in proportion to the population than in any other county in the State. This is owing to the ex- tensive emigration twenty-five to fifty years ago of natives of the county to Western States ; and to the fact that so many of our citizens are and have been engaged in the coasting trade, which so shortens life that it is almost impossible to find an old sailor.
(Many of the families removing West have carried family records, family history, &c., with them.)
RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES IN OCEAN COUNTY.
The early settlers of Ocean county were chiefly Baptists, Quakers, and Presbyterians, or Congregational- ists. Before any houses of worship were built in the county traveling preachers of various denominations would hold forth at private houses, as we find from the journals of some of these preachers and from other sources.
From the best information now to be obtained it ap- pears that the first house of worship erected in the county was the church known as the Baptist Church at Mannahawkin. The deed for the land upon which this church is situated is dated August 24th, 1758, and from the deed it appears that the church was then already built.
The second church built in the county was probably the old "Potter Church " at Goodluck, now known as a Methodist church. This church was built by Thomas
130
HISTORY OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES.
Potter, originally as a free church, but subsequently given by him to the Universalists with the privilege to other societies to hold meetings in it.
(The history of this church, so remarkable, is given: though probably familiar to many, it should occupy a prominent place in the history of Ocean county. The exact year when it was built is not known, but it probably was from 1760 to 1765.)
The Quaker church at Barnegat comes next. The deed for this church is dated June 11th, 1770, and by it it appears that this church was also built when the deed was made.
Though these were the first houses of worship built in the county, yet there was a religious society at Ware- town as early as 1746 ; of what denomination is now un- certain. A place of worship at Waretown, it is said, was standing about a century ago-probably used as a free church.
Though nearly a century ago we find as yet but four churches along shore, yet this speaks well for the people as we find that there were less than a thousand people, men, women, and children, to attend them.
(Thomas Potter tells Rev. Murray, 1770, that there were 700 within twenty miles.) Probably he meant from Toms River to Mannahawkin where these churches were.
