Trenton’s First Italian Immigrant Families 1793-1850

Sunday, October 8 · 2 - 3:30pm EDT. William Trent House Visitor Center - Across from Hughes Justice Complex - 15 Market Street Trenton, NJ 08611. It is estimated that 10,000 Italians immigrated to the United States between 1793 and 1850 including the first to establish residence in Trenton.

One immigrant to Trenton, Giovanni Battiste Sartori (known in America as John Sartori), knew the Trent House well, having married Henriette de Woofin, daughter of Chevalier Marie Basil Gaston de Woofin, who owned the estate between 1792 and 1795. In 1804 Sartori age 29 and Henriette age 18 married in Trenton and began their marital life at Giovanni’s mansion "Rosy Hill," just south of the Trent House along the Delaware.
