THE RUNYON HOUSE CIRCA 1775-1780 This is The Runyon House, an 18th century house in Middlesex, New Jersey, that
originally stood at 175 Possemtown Road. Originally owned by Benjamin Runyon. In 1978 it was moved to an historical park
named "East Jersey Olde Town". It is said to have housed slaves via the Underground Railroad and also served as a wayside
inn. Vincent's son, Peter, is said to have settled that piece of land. In his will he
left a sizable tract of land to his younger brother Benjamin, and here Benjamin built this house circa 1775-1778. Benjamin
left the house to his wife Mercy (which was unheard of in those days). When Mercy died in 1852, Peter's son, Daniel,
inherited the house. Daniel sold it the Nelson Boice, ending the almost 100 years of occupation by Runyons. The Runyon House can be seen at this address: East Jersey Olde Towne |
