William Stephens to Susan Niemcewicz, February 26, 1801
No full textWilliam Stephens wrote from Savannah, Georgia to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Stephens informed Susan that he set about leasing the Wharf Lot. Sorry to hear that Susan did not have the deed of her lands executed before a gentleman who could have attested the fact, or verified under the seal of New York. Stephens planned to return the deed by the first safe opportunity. It was to be hoped that the lands and property would be leased and be productive and not embarrass Susan. Stephens and his wife were seriously considering visiting New York in May and wanted to spend the summer in the Northern States. On their tour, they planned on paying Susan and Julian their respects.
Susan wrote her response on the third page of the letter in which she thanked Williams for his kind favor and expressed her regret that any ignorance on her part prevented the Deed from being recorded. Pleased to find that the property was increasing in value. If Stephens wrote to Major B., Susan asked if he would enquire whether he had any Deeds of Lands that belonged to John Kean’s Estate.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1800s/1154/thumbnail.jp

William Stephens to Susan U. Niemcewicz, April 30, 1802

Stephens knew Mr. Dennis Susan mentioned in her previous letter, that he was a dear neighbor but did not seem inclined to lease Susan’s lot. To sell the land would be an injury towards Susan’s son, Peter. The Deed for the lands entrusted to Stephens was being returned to her by a friend. Received a letter from Major Barnwell who made a contract of some land of Susan’s, Barber’s Islands, and a small tract about 11 miles from Savannah.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1800s/1184/thumbnail.jp
