About the year 1700 a great many of the settlers on Long Island removed to the places indicated, because the land was cheaper and better than that which they tilled upon the island.

Hunterdon and Orange were the favorite counties of this class of immigrants....

[In 1769 the Moravian Brotherhood from Bethlehem, Pa., purchased 1500 acres of land from Samuel Green, who was the Deputy Surveyor.]

V: "Joshua Opdike laid before this board one survey of 140 acres by Samuel Green for said Joshua Opdike, situate in the County of Sussex, and is recorded in B. B. 212, 213, which appears on the East side of the true Quiotia[?] partite line run by John Lawrence – 73 acres of which he has since purchased an East Jersey proprietary right [to] and laid; therefore warrant to locate the same 140 acres elsewhere; and a warrant was granted accordingly."
