Gilbert Stuart was born in Saunderstown, Rhode Island & in 1793, settling briefly in New York City. He moved to Boston in 1805, continuing in critical acclaim and financial troubles.

. property located in relationship to land 'adjoining on the line run by John Lawrence for the division between East & West Jersey."

. At a special meeting of the Board of General Proprietors of the Western Division of New-Jersey, at the City of Burlington, on Thursday & Friday, the 10th & 11th days of November, 1774 (1743?), it was resolved, that as it is evident the Eastern Proprietors are not disposed to come into the equitable measures proposed by this Board, for settling a true line of partition between them, this Board will assert & maintain their right to the lands lying to the westward of a line, to be run from the mouth of Machackamack, lately established as the Northern Boundary of this province, to the Station Point at Little Egg-harbor & to the eastward of the ex part line, run by Mr. John Lawrence.

. 1743 September - October - John Lawrence, for the East Jersey Proprietors, surveys the partition line between East & West Jersey to the northern terminal. Many grants between the original partition & the Lawrence Line had been granted in the preceding decades, confusing the land titles in this triangular area in the center of the colony.

Surveyor General's Office document 1676, W. Broad Street
The first governors of West Jersey at a time when Burlington was Capital of West Jersey, The Council of West Jersey Proprietors maintains their records in this office.

. These are surveyors we are discussing; men & women who plumb muddy swamps looking for ancient piles of rocks or buried iron stakes, all in the name of accurately dividing the world into pieces we can claim to own. The East-West New Jersey Line, known among the initiated as the Lawrence Line because it was plotted by surveyor John Lawrence, divided the state diagonally between Little Egg Harbor & a point in the Delaware River that is now part of New York State. In 1644, James, Duke of York (the brother of King Charles II of England) seized from the Dutch the "New Netherlands" an area stretching from Massachusetts Bay to Delaware Bay. The Duke gave New Jersey to Lord John Berkeley & Sir George Carteret, two of the crown's supporters during the English Civil War.

Berkeley & NJ Gov. Carteret split New Jersey in two, based on a line drawn by surveyor George Keith in 1687. The two men eventually sold their vast tracts of land to groups called proprietors. Disagreements over the boundaries, including the dividing line between New Jersey & New York, eventually resulted in the hiring of Lawrence by the proprietors of East New Jersey. Lawrence ran the line from a large rock, called Station Rock, in the Delaware River near what is now Cocheton, New York, to a now-submerged marker in Little Egg Harbor. The Lawrence Line left a sliver of New Jersey perched north of the confluence of the Neversink & Delaware rivers, a chunk some called the "New Jersey Peninsula." After 50 years of nasty border fights, the provincial government moved the state line south to its current place. The remainder of the Lawrence Line remained in effect & to this day, there are proprietors representing both sides of the state who oversee & sell the remaining, undeeded land.

. 1749 Apr 14, Gentlemen: Yesterday I forgot to acquaint you that in running the Province Line (when in Pennsylvania), I was stopt by 3 Indians. The Kings's son who claimed the lands where I then was asked me £5 for liberty to go through the lands. I beat them down to £4. The King stopt me above half a day & drank every drop of spirit I head with me the night before & ye day I was so hindered. Billed £6.

Resolved that a sum of money be now raised to purchase what further quantity & it is recommended that every man capable of hearing arms enter into Companies to train & be prepared to march at a minute warning; & it is further recommended to the people that they do not waste their powder in fowling & hunting.
A subscription was opened & £160 instantly paid into the hands of a person appointed for that purpose . The officers of 4 companies were then chosen & the meeting broke up perfect unanimity." Elisha Lawrence, Clerk.

But a man names John Williams Had placed the significant letter "R" on him by order of Gen. Cortland Skinner.
