HINCHMANIS HILL (alias Borton's Hill)

''The highest point in the Haddon Heights and Haddonfield area is on First Avenue in Haddon Heights, about midway between Kings Highway and Station Avenue, not far west of the Haddonfield boundary. (Camden Quad) This hill eminence has usually been known as Hinchman's Hill.''

''The land encompassing the hill would have been within the vast tract acquired by John Hinchman in 1699. (Clement, p. 240) That part of the original 100 acres nearest to Haddonfield was purchased from John by his brother Joseph. Joseph's house lay on the north side of the Kings Road (approximately present Kings Highway) a short distance from where it crossed the Old Egg Harbor Road. (ibid, p.. 247) This latter road was approximately Hopkins Road (also known as "Brickiln Road") which now ends at Kings Highway near the hill in question.''

''All nineteenth century maps show numerous Hinchmans in this general area. However, the 1860 Lake & Beers Map of the Vicinity of Philadelphia and Camden shows the hill tract to be owned by S. G. Collins.''
