Biography
"Upon coming into possession of the homestead, near Fellowship, in 1784, Charles French, 3rd, son of Charles French, Jr, continued in operation the old colonial grist mill on the home plantation, the site of which can still be traced, on the bank of the Pensaukin Creek, and in 1816 purchased another property of the same kind, with a saw mill and 37 acres of land, in the same neighborhood, for $10,000. In 1800 he purchased three acres, a valuable site, near the center of Moorestown, and in 1818 bought 33 acres additional. Hither he removed, about 1820, having built one of the finest brick mansions of the time, in which he resided until his death.... While living in Moorestown, Charles French became a partner with William Roberts in a large woolen mill industry, at Mt. Holly." [1]
