Princessville was originally part of the Brearley family holdings and is located on Princeton Pike (c. 1807) at the corner with the historic Meadow Road, anchored at each end by two extant 18th-c. Brearley homes. Meadow Road is the road into the 1761 Brearley House. Also, hidden in the woods across Princeton Pike from Princessville is Spring Grove, birthplace of David Brearley, NJ Signer of the U.S. Constitution. David Brearley is buried in the St. Michael’s churchyard in Trenton.
