This deed is one of the first recorded land transfers in the New Jersey colony. In return for “sundry species of Tradeing goods,” it grants the land now known as Tinton Falls, New Jersey, “called by the Indians Warumnonung and by the English, The Falls,” to John Bowne, Richard Hartshorne, and James Grover of Middletown. The deed bears the marks and seals of Matappeas, Taptawappamund, and Sepequena, sachems of Toponemese (“inland inhabitants”) of the Lenape Indians. Gift of Harry Irvin Caesar, Class of 1913.
