The exact time of their removal from Massachusetts to New Jersey is not certain. Several accounts give 1701, but a deed dated 6 Nov 1698 shows that Thomas Elwell bought 110 acres of land from Benjamin Acton.
On 22 Oct 1700, Elisha (Bassett) bought 100 acres of land on the main branch of Salem Creek from Benjamin Acton.
Thomas Elwell, Elisha's brother-in-law, bought land in the same township on 6 Nov 1698, and one Samuel Bassett bought 150 acres on 26 Nov 1698, both from the same Benjamin Acton. Samuel was presumably a brother of Elisha and of Sarah (Bassett) Elwell.
