ROYAL OAKS

            After Robert Rutherford left the x Legionaire x Legonier, Rensalear Williams occupied the building as The Royal Oaks.  X The latter x Williams was from Middlesex County, and was first licensed to keep a tavern in Trenton as early as 1766.  Where his first inn x in Trenton x was located x I have x have not been x unable to x ascertain(ed), but in May 1768, he published a notice, “To the Public”, reading

           

“The subscriber, at the Royal Oak inn, in Trenton, after returning thanks to the public in x g x general, and his friends in particular, begs leave to acquaint them, that he is removed from the house he lately lived in, to the brick corner house, opposite Samuel Tucker’s, Esq; formerly kept by Robert Rutherford, where he hopes for the continuance of their favor, to their very humble servant.”

                                                            Rensalear Williams.

(26 N.J.Archives, p. 160)

            Samuel Tucker’s house was on the southwest corner of State and Broad Streets.

            Early in 1773 Williams removed the Royal Oak inn to Trenton Ferry x . x , x On March 22, in that year, after again returning his unfeigned thanks to the public in general and his friends in particular for past favors, begs leave to acquaint them that the Royal Oak Inn is removed to Trenton Ferry where he hopes for their continuance as he expects to merit from them his care and diligence both in regard to the Ferry (in the due attendance of which he will be particularly careful) and house, having provided himself with a stock of liquors &c., for the keeping of the same. The notice of the removal appearing in the Philadelphia papers on March 22.

(28 N.J.Archives, p. 461)

            Before March 1, 1776, Williams left the Inn at Trenton Ferry and opened a public house in Trenton, at the sign of the Royal Oak, in the house where the late Mr. Cottnam dwelt, x which he says, x Williams’ advertisement describes his new stand as well accomodated with good stables, carriage house and hay.  X having furnished himself with things necessary hopes to merit their custom by his diligence which shall be thankfully acknowledged by the public’s humblest servant. x.

(1 N.J.Archives (2^nd Ed.) p. 8, 79)

            The land on which the house was erected was owned by Benjamin Smith in 1733.  Smith purchased x the land x it from Enoch Andrews and built the house on it.  Some time prior to 1744 he conveyed the property to William Morris, who on February 26, 1748 conveyed it to Thomas Cadwalader x . x , x Thomas Cadwaldder was born in Philadelphia and educated at the Friends Academy there, studied medicine and surgery in London and acquired a large practice in Philadelphia.  He married Hannah Lambert, daughter of Thomas Lambert, Jr. of Trenton, and when Trenton was incorporated as a Borough in 1746, he was elected its x the First Chief Burgess, of Trenton Since the house x referred to above x was allowed x to be x the best stand for a x any x tavernr or a  gentleman in any part of Trenton, we presume it was Dr. Cadwalader’s residence while in Trenton x for only a gentleman of means could afford a house in those days with the stairway and three of the rooms handsomely papers.  Dr. Cadwalader returned to Philadelphia in 1750, but before leaving he gave five hundred pounds to found a public library in Trenton.  This was Trenton’s first public library. x

x (11 N.J.Archives, p. 584) x

            In August of x this year x 1750 Dr. Cadwalader advertised all his Trenton properties for sale, among them

“A large commodious corner brick house, two stories high and furnished with three good rooms on the lower floor and a large entry through; four good rooms on the upper floor and four lodging rooms plastered in the upper story, with good cellars, stone kitchen, garden and stables, situated in Queen Street in a very public part of the Town of Trenton, very convenient for any public business.”

(12 N.J.Archives, p. 661.)

           

            He conveyed the property on February 4, 1754, to James Rutherford, “yeoman,” who in turn conveyed it to Robert Rutherford, his nephew, by deed dated July 27, 1759.  The deed refers to the grantee as “tavern keeper”; Robert Rutherford had been licensed to keep a tavern three years before. x The deed mentions Thomas Cadwalader, of the County x

            The Mr. Cottnam here feferred to was Abraham Cottnam, one of the leading lawyers of Trenton before the Revolution.  He died in January 1776,  Former writers have stated that in the latter part of his life Cottnam removed to Dowd’s Dale, locating his tenement at what is now the northwest corner of Bank and Warren Streets, and that at his death it became the inn of Rensalear Williams. 

(See Foot not x (1 x 2^nd Ed. N.J.Archives, x (2^nd Ed.) x Ad 1 p. 59)

          x Dowd’s Dale was in the Township of Trenton , but not in the village proper.  It was advertised for sale by Cottnam’s executors on April 5, 1778, for sale, the notice reading “The subscribers propose to sell or let that tenement called Dowsdale, situate near Trenton, on the Hopewell Road, with two dwelling hous, a kitchen, barn, and a good orchard thereon, ax containing thirteen acres more or less” &c.

(2 N.J.Archives (2^nd Ed.) p. 154) x

          This seems to be error, in view of existing evidence indicating that Abraham Cottnam lived elsewhere. 

          On January 5, 1781, the members of the Trenton Library Co. x are desired to met meet at the house of Rensalear Williams’ Esq. Inn in Trenton, on Monday the 5^th day of this instant at two o’clock in the afternoon. X

(5 N.J.Archives, p. 168)

          Rensalear Williams was a librarian of the Trenton Public Library in January 1781.  Evidently the ax had, during the Revolution, been neglected and the books scattered.  He advertised that the Trenton Library Company being desirous of renewing the same requests all such members and every other person in this State who may have any books belonging thereto to deliver or send them immediately.  In the foot note he states that any person living at a distance and having books, would have the expense of transportation x will be x paid by the librarian.
