This report describee the activities of the Commission from its establishment on June 24, 1958 to the completion of its work on December 31, 1964. It was the task of the Commission to organize a program of events that Would appropriately commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of New Jersey in 1664. I believe this report will show that the Commission effectively met its responsibility, and that the ~ercentenary obs~rvance instilled in the people of our state a renewfd spirit of pride in the New Jersey heritage.

  • THE RAMAPO MOUNTAIN PEOPLE DAVID STEVEN COHEN Photographs by Robert Goldstein
    Fourth PTinting THE RAMAPO MOUNTAIN PEOPLE DAVID STEVEN COHEN Photographs by Robert Goldstein Northwest of Manhattan where the New York-New Jersey boundary crosses the tree- covered ridges and hollows of the Ramapo Mountains there is a group of about 1,500 racially mixed people who have long been referred to by journalists and historians as the "Jackson Whites." In a study combining the disciplines of an- thropology, sociology, folklore, and history, David Cohen found that the old stories about these people were legends, not history. He found no reliable evidence that their ancestors were Tuscarora Indians, Hessian deserters from the British army, escaped slaves, and British and West Indian prostitutes imported by a sea captain named Jackson for the pleasure of British soldiers occupying Manhattan during the War for Independence. David Cohen lived among the Ramapo Moun- tain People for a year, conducting genealogical research into church records, deeds, wills, and inventories in county courthouses and li- braries. He established that their ancestors included free black landowners in New York City and mulattoes with some Dutch ancestry who were among the first pioneers to settle in the Hackensack River Valley of New Jersey. In describing his findings and his experi- ences, Professor Cohen shows how their ra- cially mixed ancestry, their special family and kinship system, and their intergroup attitudes and folkways distinguish and socially isolate these people as a separate racial group today, despite modern communications and trans- portation and their proximity to New York City.
