Agreement to Purchase Lands in Cape May Co.
Whereas the West N.J. Society once stood seized of 9000 acres of land situated & containing the chiefest part of that "Island or Tract of Land called Cape May" between Delaware Bay & Great Egg Harbor River & the said Society having sold the best portions thereof to divers persons & whereas there is yet remaining unsold a parcel of broken & sunken marshes, sounds, creeks, barren lands &c of very little value which nevertheless if the same should be purchased by any particular persons in large Tracts it might [be] an inducement for such persons to endeavour to monopolize the Fisher, Oystering &c which Nature seems to have intended for a general blessing to the Poor & others who have bought the lands & settled contiguous thereto And many of us the Subscribers having already given advanced prices for our Land by reason of the vicinity of the said priviledges are now unwilling to be deprived thereof: Wherefore we the Subscribers each & every of us agree &c with each other in manner & form following - to wit. That we will each associate & join in the purchase of the said land &c to be held in equal shares amongst us &c as tennants in common &c &c (numerous provisions follow). Dated this 20th day of November Anno Domini 1752. Was signed by Jacob {Aaron Leaming [Leaming's Book of Surveys, Cape May, p. 165.}
