John Van Blarcom papers, 1772-1818.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52804257

The papers consist of the financial records, contracts, indentures and correspondence of John Van Blarcom, and cover the years 1772 to 1818. The papers are divided by type of document, and are arranged chronologically. Amongst the papers are two real estate contracts, the first dated April 1, 1785, between the Proprietors of East Jersey, represented by Walter Rutherfurd and John Stevens, and John Van Blarcom, in which the Proprietors sold 78 acres of land to Van Blarcom for 234 Spanish Dollars. The other contract, dated February 5, 1787, is again between the Proprietors of East Jersey (represented by Azariah Dunham, John Stevens, and John Rutherford) and Van Blarcom. The title of the land in question was transferred to Van Blarcom for the sum of 500 United States dollars. Also included in the papers are loan agreements made by Van Blarcom with John Garrison, Peter Demarest, Jacobus Demarest, Abraham Brower, Hannah Jenkins, and David Mandeville. The loan agreements cover the time span from 1772 to 1818. The debts are in various amounts, and are in currencies such as Spanish dollars, New York dollars, and United States dollars. Two indentures are included in the papers; the first indenture is that of Timothy Thomas apprenticing himself to Evan Evans. The other indenture requires Peter Lebow and John Rap to pay the General Proprietors of East Jersey the sum of four pounds and sixteen shillings every year in rent for use of land for farming purposes. The indentures are dated July 27, 1780, and February 10, 1787, respectively. The papers also contain various promissory notes involving Van Blarcom, and cover the years 1775 to 1799. Other papers in the collection are various bills and receipts, along with the power of attorney of Mary Sherwood from 1790, as well as a fragment of the last will of Roger Griffith. A letter from Jonathan Wheeler to Van Blarcom dated April 11, 1789, completes the collection.
