PISCATAWAY CREEK: There is a large branch that flows into Piscataway from the southeast. it was by many considered to be Piscataway. It took a ruling of the court to fix the name Piscataway as that of the west branch. The other large branch became known as the southeast branch of Piscataway or King's Swamp. On this swamp there have been five water grist mills, most of which were built before 1692. The south swamp was also called Green Swamp, Beeby's Swamp, Webb's Mill Swamp, Covington's Mill Swamp, Dunn's Mill Swamp and now Essex Mill Swamp. Among the landowners was Thomas Toseley.
