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.
