In 1695 he bought 100 acres at the present-day site of Trenton, New Jersey2 (T:209). His land included the tract where the state capitol of New Jersey now stands.3 His will was written March 15, 1714/5, and proved June 25, 17184 (23:363). In it he mentioned his children Moses, Judith Neald, Nathaniel, Elias, and Jane Ealy, wife of George Ealy (Ely).
