Governing New Jersey: Reflections on the Publication of a Revised and Expanded Edition of 'The Governors of New Jersey' Abstract New Jersey’s chief executive enjoys more authority than any but a handful of governors in the United States. Historically speaking, however, New Jersey’s governors exercised less influence than met the eye. In the colonial period few proprietary or royal governors were able to make policy in the face of combative assemblies. The Revolutionary generation’s hostility to executive power contributed to a weak governor system that carried over into the 19th and 20th centuries, until the Constitution was thoroughly revised in 1947.

  • Voyages of Two Philadelphia Ships
    The William and Favorite: The "Post-Revolutionary "Voyages of Two Philadelphia Ships AFTER the Revolution, American merchants worked to replace /\ hazardous wartime ventures with more stable and profitable JL JL, trades. Parliament allowed United States vessels the same privileges as English vessels when trading in Great Britain, but it prohibited their entry into colonial ports, as did several other nations. Thus, American merchants accustomed to purchasing British goods with profits from West Indian markets before the war now faced new obstacles to their former trades. One Philadelphia mercantile house, Stewart, Nesbitt & Co., used two of their ships acquired in wartime to experiment with promising peacetime oppor- tunities. A brief examination of their experiences offers a good sampling of the ways Americans tried to adapt to the changing commercial patterns and trade restrictions of the post-Revolutionary decade.1 Stewart, Nesbitt & Co. was organized in 1782 by two Philadel- phians of Irish birth. Walter Stewart was a young handsome army colonel who had just married the daughter of the city's leading investor in privateers, Blair McClenachan. Stewart's energy and new financial resources helped him convince his close friend, Alex- ander Nesbitt, to accept him as a business partner. Nesbitt, who had established himself before the war, invested mostly in letters of marque bound for West Indian and French ports, but he was also 1 The papers of Stewart, Nesbitt & Co., hitherto unexamined, are located in the library of the Mariner's Museum in Newport News, Virginia. Consisting of more than 600 letters, plus thousands of receipts and accounts, the correspondence is limited to letters received by the company and many of the business papers are undated, leaving time gaps in all the financial records.

  • The Signers of the U.S. Constitution
    CONSTITUTIONFACTS.COM The U.S Constitution & Amendments: About the Signers (Continued) The Signers of the U.S. Constitution On September 17, 1787, the Constitutional Convention came to a close in the Assembly Room of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There were seventy individuals chosen to attend the meetings with the initial purpose of amending the Articles of Confederation. Rhode Island opted to not send any delegates. Fifty-five men attended most of the meetings, there were never more than forty-six present at any one time, and ultimately only thirty-nine delegates actually signed the Constitution. (William Jackson, who was the secretary of the convention, but not a delegate, also signed the Constitution. John Delaware was absent but had another delegate sign for him.) While offering incredible contributions, George Mason of Virginia, Edmund Randolph of Virginia, and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts refused to sign the final document because of basic philosophical differences. Mainly, they were fearful of an all-powerful government and wanted a bill of rights added to protect the rights of the people. The following is a list of those individuals who signed the Constitution along with a brief bit of information concerning what happened to each person after 1787. Many of those who signed the Constitution went on to serve more years in public service under the new form of government. The states are listed in alphabetical order followed by each state’s signers. Connecticut William S. Johnson (1727-1819)—He became the president of Columbia College (formerly known as King’s College), and was then appointed as a United States Senator in 1789.

  • John Nice (1739-1806) Family Papers, 1764-1864 1 Box, 2 Vols., 0.4 Lin
    John Nice (1739-1806) Family Papers, 1764-1864 1 box, 2 vols., 0.4 lin. feet Collection 451 Abstract John Nice (b.1739) was the third of four children born to Winnard and Mary Nice of Germantown, Pennsylvania. Nice joined the army as a young man, and by the age of twenty-one had achieved the rank of captain. He married Sarah Engle in 1772, and the couple had seven children. Nice continued to serve through the Revolutionary War, and died in Philadelphia in 1806. Papers of John include records pertaining to Captain Nice’s service in the Sixth and Thirteenth Pennsylvania Lines during the American Revolution, such as muster rolls, pay rolls, and orders. Also included are a few personal papers, as well as scattered correspondence, estate documents, and miscellaneous papers pertaining to the Nice, Engle, and Dugan families. Background note John Nice, the son of Winnard and Mary Nice, was born in Germantown in 1739. The Nice (or Neus) family had arrived in Pennsylvania during the time of William Penn. In 1772 John Nice married Sarah Engle (b. 1747), the daughter of Cornelius and Catherine, and they had seven children, five of whom outlived their father: James, Mary, Ann, Washington, and Levi. At the age of eighteen John Nice received a commission in the colonial army, and at twenty-one was promoted to the rank of captain. In March 1776 he received a commission as captain the Pennsylvania Musketry Battalion, commanded by Samuel Atlee. At the Battle of Long Island, fought in August 1776, Captain Nice was taken prisoner.
