These documents are foundational
to West Jersey history. They are the legal basis for all that happened afterward.
Some of them show the Stuart Monarchs at their most liberal. Others are amazing
for the breadth of their coverage.
These documents were
all copied from the
Avalon Project at Yale Law School. The Avalon project site contains transcriptions
of all the various colonial charters as well (as with this collection) some
other important early documents.
