On this day 250 years ago, at New Brunswick, New Jersey, “a general meeting of the Committees of the several Counties of the Province of New Jersey” was held to adopt resolutions in opposition to the Intolerable Acts, to organize aid for the people of Boston and to elect “James Kinsey, William Livingston, John DeHart, Stephen Crane, and Richard Smith . . . Delegates to represent this Province in the General Continental Congress, to be held at the City of Philadelphia, on or about the first day of September next.”
