Ely and her husband owned a 350-acre country estate named Meadowburn Farm in Vernon Township, New Jersey. Part of Meadowburn was given to Ely by her mother as a wedding gift in 1881.[1] The remainder, including the main house was purchased by Ely from the DeKay family,[2] a colonial family that had settled in this area in the 1720s and played a prominent role in the New York–New Jersey Line War. The Rutherfurd family owned large tracts throughout Sussex County and was descended from early colonial proprietors.[citation needed] Ely spent half of each year on the farm, experimenting with filling plots with the perennial plants.[1]
