Ferdinand John Paris was an influential London lawyer who was appointed by the East Jersey Proprietors to be their agent with the British government. The East Jersey Proprietors needed someone to represent their cause, the delineation of the borders between East and West Jersey and New Jersey and New York. The lack of a clear-cut border between the two colonies and the two Jerseys had led to numerous violent incidences.
