Ralph and wife Susanna gave a deed there in October 1700 and Ralph Hunt and Benjamin Harding gave the ground on which the Presbyterian Church in Lawrenceville is located in June 1711 to thirty-six townspeople, including Ralph's wife Susanna, the only woman mentioned.

Daniel Cox. By deed of 25 May 1723 he received from Daniel Coxe of Trenton some 387 acres for 200 pounds sterling "the plantation on which he dewlleth" (presumably purchasing full title beyond the "right to use" which Courts had interpreted was the extent of previous purchase).
