Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate details of land ownership and distribution in colonial New Jersey during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Through meticulous records of surveys and property transactions, the author paints a vivid picture of the evolving landscape and the individuals who shaped it. The book's primary focus is on the meticulous surveys conducted by individuals like Daniel Leeds and Symon Charles, offering a glimpse into the methods and practices of land measurement during this period. These surveys encompassed a wide range of properties, from modest town lots in Burlington to sprawling rural estates encompassing hundreds of acres. As the colony grew, so too did the complexity of land ownership, leading to disputes, partitions, and the emergence of a legal framework to govern property rights. Beyond the technical aspects of surveying, the book explores the social and economic implications of land ownership in colonial New Jersey. It highlights the role of land as a source of wealth, status, and identity, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by settlers in acquiring and managing their properties. The author's insightful analysis reveals the profound impact of land distribution on the development of communities, the establishment of transportation networks, and the growth of agriculture and commerce. By shedding light on these historical land records, this book provides invaluable insights into the foundations of property ownership and the shaping of colonial society in New Jersey.
