The document at the end of this brief introduction was purchased by Special Collections and University Archives, Rutgers University Libraries in 2013. Attributed to William Penn, it is a protest again customs duties collected by New York authorities from the early English Quaker settlers of West Jersey. As such it is the earliest known tax protest in New Jersey, but its real importance lies in the arguments used in the document. It is remarkable that this has survived. After a brief introduction providing context about the history behind the protest, a transcription is provided, followed by a reproduction of the original document.

Stellhorn (1947-2001), a distinguished historian and public servant who worked for the New Jersey Historical Commission, the New Jersey Committee (now Council) for the Humanities, and the Newark Pubic Library.

He earned a Ph.D. in American History from Rutgers University with a dissertation about Newark during the era of the Great Depression. He was the author or editor of many works about New Jersey’s past, especially about its urban history. The Stellhorn Awards consist of a framed certificate and a modest cash award, presented at the New Jersey Historical Commission’s Annual Conference. The Award’s sponsors are the New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance; the New Jersey Historical Commission, New Jersey Department of State; Special Collections and University Archives, Rutgers University Libraries; the New Jersey Caucus, Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference; and the New Jersey Council for History Education.
