A History of the Stockton Family, by J. W. Stockton
"that the tract of land purchased by Richard Stockton in West Jersey was originally known by the Indian name of An-na-nicken; that it was over two miles in length and one in width; and that the mansion house of the late James Shreve is on the site of the house built and occupied by Mr. Stockton until his death."
The Richard Stockton estate is in what is now Springfield Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. Richard purchased this property from George Hutchinson. It is located on Annaricken Brook, also known as Annaniken, Oneanickon, Oneakiekon, and An-na-nicken. There are now horse farms located on what was Richard Stockton's and later Job Stockton's property.
