184840142Trenton New Jersey 1848. 2-1/2 pages entirely in ink manuscript on pale blue stationery 8" x 10." At head of letter: a printed presidential sticker 1" x 2-1/2": "For President Zachary Taylor. For Vice President Millard Fillmore." Very Good.<br /> <br /> The Letter reflects Whigs' uncertainty about the direction of their Party. The most prominent Whigs Webster and Clay had failed to win the Presidency. Zachary Taylor a heroic general whose political opinions were a mystery seemed a better choice.<br /> "I have received the letter which you addressed to me on behalf of the Whig Executive Committee of the two Houses of Congress desiring information of the state of public opinion in this state in regard to the candidate for the Presidency & other political topics which now interest the Whig Party. I have shown it to my associates upon the Whig Central Committee of this state and conferred with them upon the subjects of your inquiry.<br /> "In regard to the Presidential candidate there is much division of opinion among the Whigs of New Jersey. Many of the most active and intelligent among them in every section of the state think that our candidate should be one whom we have never yet presented to the people. . . The minds of these persons are strongly turned towards Gen. Taylor.<br /> "Others equally active and intelligent and equally devoted to the Whig Party think otherwise and their entire hopes and affections centre in Mr. Clay whose nomination they ardently desire and with whom they feel assured of triumph. The minds of others rest on Gen. Scott tho this class is by no means as numerous as either of the others.<br /> "We confess ourselves unable to decide. . . Our State Convention to appoint delegates to the National Whig Convention will meet on 24th inst. and we await such further intelligence as the representations of the different counties in that body will bring us. . . The views which I have expressed are those of a majority of our Committee."<br /> Wilson's correspondent was Congressman Hugh White of New York State elected as a Whig to Congress 1845-1851. unknown

1825BOOKS013045IEast Windsor NJ 1825. Original manuscript. Very Good. Two documents 6pp; few spots of foxing. Dated March 15 1825. 12.5" x 7.75" Michael Lykes and his wife Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Morford deceased appoint East Windsor attorney Elijah Davis. The lawyer is to represent them in selling certain lands in Middlesex County to which Elizabeth has claim as the only daughter and heir of Thomas Morford who inherited the land from his grandfather William Updike of Middlesex County by terms of a will dated November 22 1778. On the back of this first document one Andrew Rowan attests that Elizabeth came before him on August 15 1824 at which time he examined her without her husband and she agreed to give power-of-attorney to Davis. The second document dated at Lamberton on 21 June 1825 comprises several testimonials that Elizabeth is the daughter of Thomas Morford and Lucy Reed who "for many years lived together and cohabited as man and wife." Elizabeth Dye attests that she believes Morford and Reed were legally married. Sarah Reed Lucy's mother states that Lucy was married to Morford at age 19 without Sarah's consent and that they had a daughter named Elizabeth. Inserted in this document is the testimonial of John Smith of Lambertville NJ who states that he officiated at the marriage of Elizabeth and Michael a few years earlier believing that she was the daughter of Thomas Morford who was the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Story wife of Joseph Story of Story Farm. Also signing this document are Robert and Ann Taylor who attest to the lineage and Abraham Creque who was in the house when Thomas Morford and Lucy Reed lived as man and wife. unknown
