Did you know that the County Clerk’s Office holds many historic documents?  The County Clerk’s office has land records dated back to 1785, which include records on Napoléon Bonaparte’s brother, Joseph Bonaparte.

Joseph Bonaparte was the elder brother of Napoléon  Bonaparte. He made him King of Naples and Sicily from 1806 to 1808, and later King of Spain, José I, from 1808 to 1813.   He had an estate in what is now Bordentown, NJ.
