All I know about this place is it's location on a contemporary map, along the river between and Wading River. Presumably it has something to do with the extensive charcoal manufacture that existed in this part of the state during the heyday of the iron furnaces and glass houses in the late 18th and 19th centuries.
UPDATE: I came across one other reference to this place, in the New Jersey Mirror of 16 Mar 1881:
"Pursuant to an order of the Orphans' court of the county of Burlington, made at the December term, A. D., 1880, the subscribers, administrators of Livingston B.
