Newtown, NJ, 1757. 1p. Signed by Henry Simson, Joseph Byram, John Anderson, Thomas Woolverton and Joseph Parry. The French and Indian War on the New Jersey "Front Tears."
In the wake of Braddock's defeat, with tensions with the Delaware Valley Indian tribes rising and with a perceived threat that the tribes of the Delaware Valley would invade into New Jersey, at the end of November 1755, Governor Belcher detached hundreds of West New Jersey troops to the New Jersey/Pennsylvania border (and into Pennsylvania), many under the command of Colonel Abraham van Campen. The present document concerns the death of a resident of Sussex County, who evidently travelled with Van Campen and Colonel Jacob Ford to the "front tears" to "parley or hold a treaty with the Indians there" but "hath never returned & by report was near about that time killed." The document advocates for his bereaved wife and suggests that his eldest son be appointed heir and estate administrator. Another copy of this document, addressed to "Your Honour," appears in the Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New Jersey, first series, vol. xxxii, p. 326.

City of Washington: A & G. Way, Printers, 1807. First edition. 8 pages. 1 vols. 8vo. Disbound, stitchmarks, some light discoloration, else a very good copy. First edition. 8 pages. 1 vols. 8vo. Land Grants of 1763. In 1763 the King had granted land to those officers who had fought during the French and Indian war l and for the following ten years they had to be subject to quit rents and the same conditions of cultivation and improvement as other lands withing the province. By 1773 they had followed the provisions of the proclamations and applied to the governments. Virginia having agreed to those within its borders had William Thompson survey the claims for patents. The survey took him into 1775 and when Thompson took the surveys for documentation it was required that he take an oath to the King. Being a patriot he refused and so the surveys were not accepted and the patents not issued. This pamphlet contains the report that the government decided not to allow their claims.

This work was written in response to Mauduit's CONSIDERATIONS..., which argued that Britain should further her war against France in North America and the East Indies while abandoning the war in Continental Europe.

The author maintains that further attempts at colonial expansion would antagonize other nations, especially France. SABIN 15208
