If that was in North Jersey, that property is today the site of the County 
College of Morris.  On that land besides the farm, were the Dalrymple iron 
mines; I've seen the inclines and filled in shafts from some that are still in 
peoples' backyards along Morris Turnpike (south and West of the college campus).  
And before WWII the Dalrymples harvested ice from ponds on the property, as 
recalled by my late grandparents who remembered the trucks delivering to the 
house and Uncle Patsy's general store on Sussex Street in Dover.  Dalrymple in 
these parts, locally pronounced by them da-RIMple, was an unusual name, but not 
that uncommon in that era. When I attended CCM in the early 1980s the mansion 
was still on the campus along Center Grove Road.
