New Jersey became an English possession in September, 1664. That month the colonial governor approved the request of a group of men, the Associates, then living in Jamacia, Long Island, for permission to take up lands in New Jersey. In October, three representatives of the Associates purchased from local Indian chieftains a tract of land which la?- between the Raritan and Passaic Rivers and extended back about thirty miles from the coast. Families began arriving soon after the governor confirmed their purchase in December, 1664. "Following the typical New England pattern, the new settlers established them- selves in a compact town, which was named Elizabethtown. Eac!~ associate had his home lot and a small farm nearby. The tract was called Eiizabethtown, as well, and was later divided into parts of the counties in which the Broadwells lived. WILLZ~PI~BROADWELL i 1689 r =(l)JtAu---- ? I I I I I I S~Y10.

Chapter I The First Two Generations in New Jersey I The First William Biographical : l?illian Broadwell, the great-grandfather of Moses and Jane Broadwell, is said to have come from England to Elizabethto~mwhere he was first mentione? in 1677, thirteen years after first settlement there. On August 21 of that year he married Mary Morse who was probably his second wife. Sne was born September 19, 1659, at Newbury, Massachussets. Her father was Robert Morse, an English-born tailor who lived in Boston, Newbury, and Rowley, Massachussets, before he settled in Kew Jersey. He and his brother, Peter, were members of the Elizabethtom Associates. Anthony Morse, probably her grandfather, was born at Marlbourough, England, in 1606. He sailed from England in 1635, located at Newbury, Massachussets, where he was a shoemaker, and died in 1686. 2 William died at Elizabethtown between April 1 and 16, 1689; his will was witnessed and his estate inventoried on those dates. He named Mary executrix of his estate in which was personal property valued at x67.9.1 whec inventoried, as well as real property. "Letters testimonial on eitatt of William Broadwell" were granted tc Mary on January 27, 1690. In July, 1694,it was certified that "Mary Johnson, widow of William Broadwell," had properly administered the estate. According to the . cat of adzLnis:ration, she expended q02-12.5 to pay funirk1 expenses 3 t;p,c clzinc of at least thirteen creditors. --.? > . \%IL;L;~Y, mi >;;ir?- had beer, married less tliar~twelve years when he die-d, and had had three sons: John, William, and Richard. ?kry was married again within five years of his death to a man named Johnson, according to one source. She may have married a third tlne,for another solirce gave Jacob Mitchell as her second husband. Kothing is known of their sons' upbringing. -L~onarnic Activity: Willia~Broadwell was a cordwainer, a land owner, a "planter," ani had 2 saw mill. According to a county history, he was identified ds L cordvainer when first mentioned in 1677. On Juiy 4, 1681, "Willia~ Rrc;dweii of Ellzabethtown, cordwainer," made a deed to Joseph "Ffrazel;" or ~~izabethtown.- 7 In a compilation of occupations riade fror deeds, ~ilis,and so forth, in the general inde3 cf volume 21 of tnc published Archives of the State of Xe\; Jersey, Villiarr is one of fift?-five East -- -- and West Jersey colonists listed as "Shoemdher," a categor? which included cor~wainers. Also listed as shoeaakers are 'dilliarc Allen and 'iilliam 6rar.t whose sum,ames recur in connection witti thc Broadwells, as does thzr of John Ogden who is listed as a tanner. An unnaiaed broadwell is ?isred unc'r-r the heading "Agricul.turalist ," wllicki ir.cludeC farriers, 5 I;!.>sh,>i~dr,~t?~-,, pls~ters, and yoemen. i~~~illiiirnErcadwell is said to have owned land in 1678 which he had purc:h:;st.d from Luke Ir'atson, one of the Elizabethtovn Associates.' At some 63:~:IIC acquired iand from the "Proprietors of East Jersel-," whom he ~etitioned"for 500 acres, was given 250 at 2 pence/acre in Elizabeth- tn~~Bounds." In February, 1679, about a pear and a half after his marriage, William received a warrant fror the Governor an6 Council of hew Jer'se?: for 60 acres of land "in right of I:k7ift." Fctul years later, on May 31, 1683, his petition to have tht land surveyec and laid off to hin was approved by the Council. 8 The location of these parcels is not known, but deeds give some specifics by which it may be possible to locate some of it. See Map I. The 1681 deed to Ffrazep was for 130 acres on the EKE side of the "Rawack" River. This was probably the Raway rather than Rockaway, judgin~by the proximity of Elizabethtown to the Raway and the later date of settlement on the Rockaway. On May 1, 1684, William and Richard beeck (sometimes Beach), both of Elizabethtown, sold 12 acres there bounded on the east by "the street," north by Crane's Brook, west by Karnaniel Tuttle, and south by widow Mary Mitchell. On May 6, William, "planter," and Mary, his wife, sold 35 acres in Elizabethto~mbounded east b>- a creek: south bl- William Pardon, de2eased; west by William Trotter: norti! by Kathaniel Tuttle. k Mav 14 bill of sale shows that Wiiliaz., "cordwainer," sold cattle to an Elizabethtown merchant, George 9 KvKenzic, perhaps because he had sold their home ground. On Yay 24, 1864, William petitioned the Governor and Council for L "parcel cf Sunken meadow on the South side of Elizabeth Creeke next . Aljoln~r.;: to the house and Lott Lately Benjamin Wades." The Council n~!-iscd tia at the land be surveyed and laid out "to the petitioner or sme ot11er as it nay lye most Conxlenient for, that the samr may be kept frcz, being a Nusance." The date is unknown of the "Petition of I;; i liar broadwell touchin;: a grant of the strcan at Elizabeth Town Creek upor v:lich the petitioner has placed a saw mill; which being read, consider- rticln there of deferred ti1 another council." In October, 1864, William Line of t11c-- Iforris C.~nnl,~cw.Itrsp~ (~pwYorli, 1827) in N:lp Collec-tions, New .Jersey Statc Historic-a1 bought, from Joseph Hart of Rahway, 27 acres on the east side of Mill Creek adjacent to the land of Leonard Headly on the north, Joseph Searer. south, and Isaac kTriitehead and Joseph Pleaker, easr. Two days later he sold this land to a New Yorker. 10 Although it is not known for certain that William was granted either the land on Elizabeth Creek or the use of the stream for his saw mill, there is evidence that he soon either produced or dealt in lumber. In April, 1685, he made a bond to deliver lumber to Governor Dongan's mill on Staten Island. Apparently he had not completed delivery before he died in April, 1689, as the bond was receipted to Mary Broadwell in 11 Kovemher, 1690, and to Mary Johnson in February, 1693-4.

  • Chapter 8 the Early History of the Public Domain
    Chapter 8 The Early History of the Public Domain During and following the period of the signing of the treaty of peace with Britain which ended the Revolutionary War, the vast territory be- yond the Allegheny Mountains became the property of the federal gov- ernment as then constituted under the Articles of Confederation. This development was the outcome of the disputes among the separate colonies as to ownership and jurisdiction over segments of the region ex- tending from the Great Lakes to the neighborhood of the Gulf of Mexico. As already shown in the previous chapters, much of this region was unexplored and populated only by Indian tribes. But the "right" to it was bought dearly in blood and suffering by the colonists in their struggle against the French claim to occupation. As some of the colonies had boundaries that did not abut any part of this region, they were unwilling to enter a union which thus cut them off from claims to a portion of this new territory. Appeasement came about only through the successive cessions of the claims of the various states in the Confederation to the national government. In this way, the public domain was created. It has proved to be a source of irrita- tion, dispute, corruption, and even despair to the Republic for more than a century and a half. Yet its distribution and development in this period form one of the most remarkable historical episodes in the story of civilized man. The Northwest Ordinance The first project to dispose of a part of the public domain was an ordinance passed by the Continental Congress in 1785.

  • The Miami Slaughterhouse
    The Miami Slaughterhouse In the 1780’s, a Squirrel could reach Cincinnati from Pittsburg and never touch the ground. In part because of this heavy tree canopy, the land between the Little Miami River and the Great Miami River was known to have some of the richest farm land ever seen. The land between the Miami’s was a special hunting ground for the Indians. They would not give it up without a fight. In 1966, while researching a high school term paper, I found a diary written by Mary Covalt called “Reminiscences of Early Days about the construction and defense of Covalt Station primarily set during the years 1789 until 1795. “ My story tonight is about ordinary men and women coming down the Ohio River to settle in the land between the Little Miami and Great Miami Rivers. The Covalts who came down the Ohio and built Covalt Station in the area now known as Terrace Park were my ancestors. Mary Covalt’s diary along with other letters and personal accounts gives us the chance to use a zoom lens to focus on how life was lived was during this period. This story takes place in the Old Northwest Territory, and more specifically in the Ohio Territory and very specifically in the land between the two Miami Rivers. Not many of us would want to personally experience the sacrifices made to develop this land. Innocently, these pioneers came to a place that would embroil them in a life and death struggle for the next five years. These five years in the Old Northwest Territory would settle once and for all if America’s future growth would be west of the Allegany Mountains.

  • Chapter 13 People and Places Isaac Betts1: the Centerpiece of The
    Chapter 13 People and Places Isaac Betts1: The centerpiece of the Betts-Longworth Historic District, formed in 1982, is the Betts house - now restored and open to the public as the Betts House Research Center. The two-story Federal style house was built by the Revolutionary War veteran William Betts and his wife Phebe Stevens Betts. They moved in 1790 from Rahway, New Jersey to Brownsville, Pennsylvania and then by flatboat to Cincinnati in 1800 bringing their seven children and elderly parents. Settling first in Lebanon on land purchased from John Cleves Symmes, the deed proved faulty and their money was refunded, enabling Betts to return to Cincinnati in 1802. Betts here established a brick factory. The oldest brick building on its original site in Cincinnati, the Betts homestead was built in 1804 at 416 Clark Street on land William Betts obtained as repayment of a debt owed to him by Joel Williams, a tavern keeper. Betts purchased 111 acres from Williams for $1,665. Joel Williams, who had come with Israel Ludlow from New Jersey to survey and plat what later became Cincinnati, obtained large tracts of land from the first land lottery. The West End area was flat and grassy, thus the nickname of “little Texas.” Outside of the boundaries of Cincinnati, it was an early neighborhood to be developed beyond the central business district. Some of the adjoining land was owned by Nicholas Longworth. Betts was a brick maker, using the easily obtainable local clay; he also operated part of his land as a farm since brick making was a seasonal business.

  • Remarks on the Dedication of the Restored Fort Washington Monument
    Remarks on the Dedication of the Restored Fort Washington Monument by ARTHUR G. KING, M. D. On Memorial Day, May 30, 1963, in an impressive ceremony at the site, the restored Fort Washington Monument was dedicated. The original monument had stood at Third and Ludlow Streets since 1901, but was dismantled in the 1950's when the Third Street Distributor was constructed. The new monument contains a revised inscription and a corrected map; on the map of the old monument, the location of the Fort was in error. We take pride in the fact that our Society has been vitally instru- mental in the planning and completion of the new monument. Moreover, HPSO Collection Unveiling of the Fort Washington Monument June 14, 1901 Dedication of the Restored Fort Washington Monument 203 the main address for the dedicatory ceremony was presented by Arthur G.

Its heavily wooded land and dispersed prairies made transportation to the territory difficult and only available by river or trails carved through the wilderness. Despite these wild qualities, Americans wanted land in Ohio for many reasons. Land sales provided the new government with a cash flow to relieve its Revolutionary War debts. For veterans of the war, the land in the Territory became their compensation. For other men, land was an opportunity for fame and fortune. John Cleves Symmes - Revolutionary war veteran, member of the Continental Congress, and New Jersey Supreme Court judge - petitioned Congress for one million acres in the southwestern Ohio Territory in what came to be called the Symmes Purchase. Owning and selling so much land would, he hoped, earn him John Cleves Symmes, c.1793 a fortune and build up his reputation in elite Eastern circles. For most men, land in the territory was a fresh start – an opportunity for personal freedom. It meant a chance to live their lives free from actual slavery and free from debts and taxes. It was, in the case of squatters, also seen as free for the taking – both from the government and Native Americans. Typical maps of the time reflect this belief in opportunity.
