stephen Sayre, who in his youth had
married an English woman OF great
wealth and who served for many years
as secretary to Benjamin Franklin.
There were only 30 acres to the estate
when the king bought il, but he gradually
gathered in adjoining properties until
he had J. S31 acres or about three square
miles OF territory. The state Of New Jer.
