Plainfield Man Keeps 1751 Land Document With Adams Sig
Stephen Townsend of Clinton Avenue holds a rare land conveyance dated July 10 1751 with the signature of John Adams on a witness. Experts say the document is historically valuable showing early New Jersey property deeds from the Berkeley Carteret era. The item mentions land parcels in West and East Jersey tied to the original proprietors including William Penn and cites the old metes and bounds survey method. Towns and record locations are uncertain but it notes connections to Amboy East New Jersey or Hoboken West New Jersey. Townspeople report a plan to attend a Jewish convention in New Brunswick with delegates from local groups and potential candidate announcements for real estate patriots.
