    Dad- Metape Const
    Developed Metape Village
    County Line Rd- Hillsboro
    We originated @ 68Talmadge Ave –

    Know the Council Oak location
    Metape Indian agreements..
    Know Middlebrook Campground for 13 star flag drop Betsy Ross to GW – who named it Bound Brook
    Due to the 1 sq mile area /
    Bounded by Brooks & Rivers

    Dad also built Twin Rivers NJ
    Planned community 1971 located at the open plains where Metape Indians dwelled
    We never found any Metape Artifacts growing up when in the woods Brooks River or during const excavations at all 3 locations .
    1 thing we all knew – outsiders did not how to pronounce
    ” Metape ” – !!!

    Truly a beautiful spiritual place
    A hub for Atlantic ocean and mercantile trade – via the Raritan River ..
