New Jersey as a colony and as a state : one of the original thirteen . ethe character of the settlement, the alterations be-ing of a purely political character. So far as the limits of the State of New Jerseyare concerned the political influence of New Swe-den was of a negative character. Few if any per-manent settlements were made during this period, the Swedes in West Jersey being descendants ofthose adventurers who settled in Delaware andSoutheastern Pennsylvania. The town of Swedesboro is the most strikingevidence of the occupancy of the Scandinavians.Upon a map made by Gregory B. Keen there arepreserved some curious place names given by thesmall farmers and peltry traders to points in WestJersey. Some of these place names are of Indianderivation. Thus, Maurice River was known as theAssveticons, while Sepa Hackingh was immediate-ly south of Brid^ton. Alio ways Creek wasknown as Korten/JRevier (Short Eiver), while theland between Alloways and Salem Creeks wascalled Oitsessingh. Here stood Fort Nya Elfsborg(Elsingboro Point), while Salem was known as v^. 0^;U., .^ STUYVESANTS HOMK, «* THK WHITEHALL. 96 NEW JERSEY AS A COL Asamo Hackingh. Between Salem Creek and theDelaware was Obissquasoit. In Oldmans Creekthe easy transformation from Aldermans Kil isseen. Narraticon (Raccoon), Mantees (Mantua), Rode Udden (Red Bank), and Timmer (Big Tim-ber) Creeks are easily recognizable. East of BigTimber Creek lay Arwames and Tekoke, while be-tween Big Timber and Cooper Creeks, the lattercalled Hjorte, lay Sassae Kon. Pensauken Creekwas called Stmts Creek, its headwaters rising inthe regions of Sinsessingh and Poenpissingh. Ran-cocas is apparently of Swedish origin, while Bev-erly and its vicinity was known as Marachonsicka.Tinneconck Island, directly above BurlingtonCity, retains its name, while in the vicinity ofWhite Hill the Swedes claim to have found silver.This was probably mica, which led to a like errorof the English settlers of Virginia, who mistookiron pyrites for gold
