Morven's early history begins in the 1750's as the home of Richard Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and his wife, Annis Boudinot Stockton, one of America's first female published poets, and the "Muse of Morven" as she was referred to by her friend George Washington. The Stockton family remained at Morven into the 20th century in a variety of ways, with the mansion and historic gardens passed down through generations until Helen Hamilton Shields Stockton could no longer afford its upkeep and found a very fine renter who rented and improved it for fourteen years: General" Robert Wood Johnson, Jr.
