Frank, just what is Simcoe Day? Simcoe is a name in our local history in New Jersey. In 1779, British Lt. Colonel John Simcoe led a raiding party of "...eighty Tory raiders from Staten Island, crossing to Perth Amboy, seeking to capture Governor Livingston and to scuttle the flat-boats of the American army." On October 27th, Simcoe reached the Somerset Court House and burned it. As a result, the court house was moved further inland, to where it is now located, a block from my office.
