Indenture for pew rent at the First Presbyterian Church in Newark, New Jersey signed by Elisha Boudinot, Revolutionary War Patriot and New Jersey Supreme Court Justice, here signing on behalf of the church trustees. Elisha Boudinot entertained such men as Washington and Hamilton at his home in Newark. The Indenture is between the trustees and Ephraim Morris for pew 139, “situated at the East end of the Church.” The document is witnessed by Julia Boudinot. Three annotations on the verso concerning the indenture are dated 1814, 1818, and 1826; the annotations are signed by Phebe Burnet and Mary Greene; Charles T. Shipman; and A Campbell, respectively. It is interesting to note that the Indenture form itself was printed in the 18th century and continued in use late into the first decade of the 19th century.
