Edward Sr. came to New York not later than the autumn of 1673. He had already entered into an agreement to purchase Secaucus Island. On the 16th of October of 1673 Edward signed articles of agreement providing for the conveyance to him of the Island of Secaucus, N. J. That such a transfer of ownership agreement was in place is shown by an opinion of William Samuel Johnson in 1673 as to the ownership of the Common Lands set off to the Island of Secaucus, then in possession of Edward Earle.
