An 1834 description read,
Children's author John R. Neill, who regularly illustrated the sequels to L. Frank Baum and Ruth Plumly Thompson's Wizard of Oz series, before taking over the writing himself, lived in New Jersey during his last years. He gave the name Jenny Jump to his signature character, an adventurous New Jersey girl who first appeared in The Wonder City of Oz (1940).
