Ex. Mellick, Andrew D., Jr. 1889. The Story of an Old Farm. Facs. reprint publ. by Heritage Books, 1993.
"Only two of these eight purchasers seem to have appeared in the county--Thomas Codrington and John Royce. The former had apportioned to him eight hundred and seventy-seven acres on the westerly side of the grant, fronting on Middle Brook. Soon after 1683, he built upon it a large mansion, giving his homestead the name of Racawackahana, an Indian word meaning a meadow or flat by a rapid brook. This is the same property now owned and occupied by George LaMonte. Codrington was a man of considerable influence: before removing to Bound Brook he had been Sheriff of the city of New York, and after becoming a citizen of the province of New Jersey, he was appointed a member of the governor's council, which position he seems to have been still holding in 1698."
