    1. Clinker Lot Right Men and the New Jersey Riots of 1745=55

    3. I am seeking the location and photcopies of documents which hold this title: (It should be in caps or underlined, but I don't want to shout) "The Second Publication of the Council of Proprietors of the Eastern Division of New-Jersey, dated the 25th of March, 1747; containing a narrative of the proceedings of, and with, the rioters in New-Jersey, since the former publication of the rioters proposal to the Assembly, to submit their pretensions to a tryal at law, to be carried by appeal to the King and Council: copy of the Proprietor's acceptance of that proposal, with copies of sundry other original papers shewing that the rioters and their committee have slighted, receded from, and not complied, with their own proposals aforesaid." (New York, 1747) This document was used in 1966 by Gary S. Horowitz who wrote a doctoral thesis "New Jersey Land Riots, 1745-1755" at Ohio State University. The document apparently is not at the Alexander Library at Rutgers University. Where would it be? Any ideas or knowledge of it? The rioters went by a the title of "Clinker Lot Right Men." Many appear to have been from Elizabeth Town. I would like to know more about these New Jersey riots and particularly lists of the rioters. Thanks much. == "Family love is this dynamic awareness of time, this shared belonging to a chain of generations...we collaborate together to root each other in a dimension of time longer than our own lives." by Michael Ignatieff "Lodged in the Heart of Memory" _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
