Roberts branch – Pinelands Tabernacle, NJ
ROBERTS BRANCH. A branch of Batsto River which rises on eastern border of Tabernacle Township near Paisley and flows southwesterly to unit with the river just over the border in Shamong Township. Sometimes the name is spelled Robbins Run and Robbins Branch. The junction of Roberts Branch with Batsto River is the site of Hampton Forge and, nearby, Hampton Furnace.
A 1755 survey calls the stream, “Tom Robert’s Branch of Batsto Creek.” Tom Roberts Meadow is mentioned in a 1741 survey. Little information had been obtained about Thomas Roberts of New Hanover Township whose name has been given to this stream. Roberts died in 1730.
The 1876 [J.D. Scott atlas] map calls this stream Forest Branch. (pp. 210-211)
