QUOTE: "John Reeder (1), the earliest American ancestor of the families of that name residing in Ewing township, and vicinity, was of English origin, having emigrated from that country before the year 1656, to Newtown, L.I. His name is found in that year, on the list of residents of that town who purchased the title to their lands of the Indians, having failed to obtain it by patent from the Dutch governor, Stuyvesant. His son John came to Ewing in the early part of the eighteenth century, and married Hannah, daughter of Jeremiah Burroughs, also one of the first settlers of the township, and by her had a son, Isaac, whose name is signed to an agreement August 26th, 1703, and also Joseph Reeder's."-- Rev. Cooley

The Reeder Farm "Rose Hill" in Birmingham (now West Trenton) is now known as Jones Farm and is operated as a dairy facility and minimum security state correctional institution.
Like many of the settlers of Ewing, the Reeders hailed from Newtown, Long Island. Early in the 18th century they followed the old Indian trails down from New York State to the township now known as Ewing.
"The original deed for the Reeder Plantation at Ewing, which is called 'Rose Hill,' bearing date of May 24, 1707, was given by Daniel Cox, Jun. 'late of London' to Zebulon Heston, who in turn conveyed the same property by deed bearing date of Oct 20, 1710, to 'John Reeder of Newtown, Long Island, and Isaac Reeder, son of said John Reeder.' "-- Moses Bigelow, The Scudder Family of Trenton, p 23 (1948)
