Deed, Aaron and Jane Newkirk to Jacob D. Van Winkle, 1819

Deed for parcel of land in the Township of Bergen, now part of Jersey City. The property is described in relation to neighbors and a "white oak tree" rather than streets or lot numbers, indicating how undeveloped the area still was. But investors such as Jacob Van Winkle foresaw the potential of the area and acquired large holdings in the early 19th century. The deed is made on a preprinted form.
