Description

Excerpt from The Plain-Dealer: December 25, 1775 to February 12, 1776; The First Newspaper in New Jersey; Now First Printed From an Unique Contemporaneous Manuscript Copy

In the History of the Early Settlement and Progress of Cumberland County, New Jersey, the late Lucius Q. C. Elmer gave this account of the news-letter printed in the following pages: In 1775 an association was formed [at Bridgeton], of which Ebenezer Elmer, then a student of medicine, was the Secretary, by the members of which weekly papers on various topics were written, and these being copied, were left at the tavern kept by Matthew Potter (believed to have been the house next east of the present Cohansey Hotel), to be there perused by such as chose. Among the writers of these papers were Dr. Jonathan Elmer, Joseph Bloomfield, Dr. Lewis Howell, and his brother Richard, afterwards Governor of the State.
