Participants |
|
Jones, Jeffrie (Geoffrey) of Elizabeth Towne in Essex County Fullerton, James |
Description |
[Land claims] (in ejectment). This “cause arose in endeavors of the East New Jersey proprietors to enforce claims to land in the so-called ‘Elizabeth purchase’,” according to Smith (p.366 n.66). |
Disposition |
Reversed |
Notes |
|
There is good reason to doubt the reality of the lease to Fullerton, and there can be little doubt that the Proprietors of East Jersey were the real parties at interest in this case. See the note specific to this case in Additional Research. |
