Abstract
Colonial era map showing what would become Hudson County, and a portion of Staten Island. Title text refers to the British regranting of the Dutch township titles. Geographic details include Snake Hill (Secaucus), Bergen Point and Constable's Hook (Bayonne), Caven Point (Jersey City), and Weehawken Rock, as well as the Mill Creek (since filled in) and Pinhorn Creek, now the border between Jersey City and Secaucus. Notations indicate early 18th century settlements at Bergen, Communipaw, Paulus Hook and Pavonia, all now Jersey City, and Hoboken.
Abstract
(type = summary)
This 1727 survey of a large portion – but not all – of the Township of Bergen as confirmed by Carteret’s grant of 1668 is something of a mystery. It does not appear to have been copied for any official repository, and was unknown to the two great map experts of the 19th century, Charles Winfield and John Heck. Wonder Dedericks, one of the Justices of the Peace who commissioned the survey, was a petitioner in Queen Anne’s Charter, a 1714 agreement that confirmed and more fully spelled out the rights of the Town Of Bergen. Charles Winfield notes that a principle issue addressed by the charter was rights in the common lands, and that agreements were made to carry out surveys. It seems possible that this was one such survey.
