The Press of Atlantic City recently published an article on bacteria
contained in oysters from the Delaware Bay. The front page photo featured
Capt. Lemuel Robbins of Port Norris, NJ coming ashore at Money Island near
Newport, NJ. I thought this photo may be of interest to members with roots
in Downe & Commercial Townships. There is a good view across the water
from Money Island. Lem Robbins is a Richard Robbins descendant from the
David Robbins line & also a descendant of Aaron Peterson through Peter
Petersson aka Stake b. 1667 of the Maurice River. Lem follows a long
tradition of his Robbins & Peterson ancestors who spent their lives as
"watermen" on the Delaware Bay. I've posted this photo & it can be viewed
on the last page of my photo album in the group's Photo Section.
