¹The proprietary government of East New Jersey is not immediately restored following the collapse of the Dominion of New England administration in 1689. The resident proprietors held at least three meetings - on 18 Dec 1689, 19 Mar 1690, and 20 May 1690 - attended by Deputy Governor Hamilton (s.a.), but neither the Council nor the House of Deputies was reconstituted. Hamilton departed for England, where he was appointed Chief Governor, and subsequently returned to East New Jersey. His commission was read and published on 16 Sep 1692 at a meeting of the resident proprietors and on 28 Sep 1692 at a meeting of the Council.

His commission was read and published probably in Oct/Nov 1692.
