County House, Part One, Chapter 6. Political Animosity in the 1790s. Federalists v. Democratic Republicans in Hunterdon County got heated in 1795. The Jay Treaty and fallout from the Sheriff’s election of 1794.
County House, Part One, Chapter Five. When researching history, I find that you can start off with a plan, but before long one thing will lead to another, or even several ‘anothers,’ that are completely unexpected. Which makes it challenging to stay on course. That was definitely the case while I was preparing this chapter.
County House series, Part One, Chapter Four. This is technically part of the County House series, even though it does not directly concern the old tavern/hotel.
Samuel Stewart and Anna Smith had an interesting connection with each other and with Flemington’s courthouse and Alexander’s tavern, as well as other 18th-century residents of the town. If you haven’t yet read Chapter Three of my series, The County House, I strongly recommend that you do that first.
