Is there a Burlington in New York, or could this property transaction be
related to the West Jersey Proprietors of Burlington, New Jersey, who held and
then subdivided large tracts of land in PA and NJ?
Could the name be Coxe?   Thomas Coxe was a land agent for William Penn in
the 1680s.   Tench Coxe was a wheeler-dealer in land transactions also.  William
may have been a descendant.
William Coxe 1762-1831 appears in two collections related to land
transactions in NJ.    Records of the West New Jersey Society, 1732-1773, located at the
New Jersey Historical Society, cite Coxe as a correspondent.  He also appears
as a correspondent in the papers of the land-holding Stevens family,
1663-1959, located in Special Collections at Rutgers Univ. in New Brunswick.
