History
FAIRVIEW [1883]. — This is a somewhat scattered and lengthy hamlet of about twenty-five dwellings, grist-mill, toll-house, and three small churches. It is situated on the Burlington and Camden turnpike, one mile west from Bridgeboro’, and one and a quarter miles south from Riverside Station, on the old Camden and Amboy Railroad. It is surrounded by a fine-looking farming country.
The pioneer settler of this locality was Benjamin Bates. His dwelling stood on the site now [1883] occupied by the Presbyterian Church. One hundred years ago [1783] Joseph Peirce [Joseph Pearson, Sr.] lived half a mile south of the turnpike, and the property now [1883] owned by the Elijah Denning estate was owned by Capt. John Phillips, who married a daughter of Benjamin Bates. Capt. Phillips built the original part of the old brick house in about 1780, and in 1832 he built the additions on two sides, making of it a large brick mansion for those days.[3]
