The completion of the sale and transfer of the Island of Secaucus to Edward Earle took place on April 24, 1676. We know that Edward Sr. was in New York for several years before he acquired possession of Secaucus. In the deed he is described as “Edward Earle of New Yorke, Planter.” The word “planter” is used because Edward Earle had owned a plantation with Joseph Dockings in Maryland.
