Lecture: Pre-Revolutionary Land Fraud and Corruption in Hopewell Valley
This lecture, “Pre-Revolutionary Land Fraud and Corruption in Hopewell Valley” covers Colonel Daniel Coxe’s land speculation which disenfranchised legal land deeds in today’s Ewing, Lawrence, and Hopewell communities from 1703 to 1760. His royal authority forced settlers to abandon or repurchase their properties. This talk is being given by public historian Richard M. Durham, who serves as an Advisor with the Ewing Township Historic Preservation Society. This venue is fully accessible located in classroom #113 in the Education Building of The College of New Jersey.
