A Jonathan Pettit is shown as owning 100 acres south of what is now Frenchtown, NJ, on "Hammond Map" F, one of a series of property maps compiled in 1968 from 18th-century land records by D. Stanton Hammond. Hammond's source is "Burl. M.1-p. 183" which seems to refer to the Burlington County mortgage books, so the land would have been owned before 1715, when Hunterdon County was separated off from Burlington County. There is no reference to Richard London in any of the maps of this series. There is also no indication of whether Richard Pettit ever actually lived on this land Leslie Moore Reference Librarian Hunterdon County Library ________________________________ From: [email protected] on behalf of Kimberly Hurst UE Sent: Sun 3/9/2008 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] TRYING TO LOCATE LONDON FAMILY Hi Pat, I haven't found any old maps that would show where he was located.
