The rest have been posted at other times. Can someone post this email on the Sussex list. Linda can you post your family. Just guessing but the deeds listed here name the Old Place of Maurice Mourison. Maurice Mourison was supposedly the first person to purchase property in Morris County in 1702. That property history states was closer to the Montville/Caldwell Township line. This is just another thought about the old deeds and property descriptions. At times his property was described as being in Jefferson but his great grandson, Peter Courter, property is definately in Montville. 1719 Joseph Kirkbride of Bucks County, Pa and John Job of Middletown, Monmouth County, NJ sold 1250 acres of land to John Koarta. The lands were west of Pompton Plains eastward to the Bog Valley. This land adjoined the 1,000 acre tract on which present day Boonton lies. "Alex Fowler's book on Morris County houses, describes the tract as running from present day Montville toward present-day Lake Valhalla and east from there toward Changebridge Rd." This land was purchased by Kirkbride and Job from the West Jersey Proprietors in 1715. Here are the two new deeds: Deed Book N4, p 303 8 May 1848 Maurice Mowrison of Hardyston, Sussex, NJ to John Davenport of Jefferson, Morris, NJ for $64.26 land in Jefferson adjoining lands of Silas Allington and others beginning at rock which rock is the most SW corner of said lot being likewise the beginning conrer of tract of land containing 36 86/100 acres conveyed to Maurice and Aaron Mourison by Jacob Mourison by deed dated 30 June 1829 which tract the law described in the indenture is a part and running S87E3c90l N14E6c60l N32.30 W12c42l S8.45E16c to beginning containing 5 acres and 42/100 acres.
