Excerpt from Haddonfield Historical Society Publications: First Series

But there was no Haddonfield then, and the home of Francis Collins was isolated, five miles from the little vil lage of Newton and without intermediate settlements. Its loneliness may be realized by examination of Thomas Sharp's map made eighteen years later, which shows but five houses between Mountwell and Newton. The Mount well residence was narrow and long, the inside doors were painted white and there was a large fireplace in the living room. At the southerly side of the house was a frame kitchen with a brick floor, and outside the corner of this frame kitchen was a good cistern with fine willow trees hanging over it. There was a well also, but the water was too deep to be reached. Fine shrubbery of lilac bushes and other varieties grew about the house. One of the members of this Society used to visit at this house about 1856, andthough at that time she knew nothing of its history, she recalls having the impression that the house was very old.
