Salem NJ White Oak falls

The tree is also believed to be the location in which Quaker John Fenwick, the man who brought the first English settlement to West Jersey in 1675, brokered a treaty with the Lenni Lenape Native American tribe under the branches of the tree. Also, many of Salem’s earliest residents are buried in the graveyard under the tree’s large branches.
