Mussey's execution was carried out using a tree near the Inn's entrance. He was tried as a spy at the Inn, convicted in a one-day trial, and sentenced to death by hanging. According to local legends, a local British loyalist, Abe Mussey, was captured by Continental Army troops in 1777 while signaling to British ships in Raritan Bay. It was from an episode during the Revolutionary War that the Morgan Inn gained its new name, the Old Spye Inn. The Morgans were said to be related to the famous pirate, Captain Henry Morgan, who is said to have visited the Inn on more than one occasion, although this would have been impossible, considering Morgan died in Jamaica in 1688 and the Old Spye Inn wasn't built until 1703. The Morgan family lived in the area for over 200 years and many family members, including Evertsons, are buried in the privately owned Morgan Cemetery, which overlooks Raritan Bay. Charles Morgan III and his descendants, including Major General James Morgan and Lieutenant Nicholas Morgan, played significant roles in the Revolutionary War.

Predating the incorporation of Sayreville, the Morgan Inn (later known as the Old Spye Inn) was established in 1703 in what is now the Morgan section of Sayreville. During the 20th century, amateur archaeologists found thousands of Indian artifacts at the location shown on the map.

Attempting to buy land from the Native Americans, European settlers travelled up the Raritan River in 1663. This was noted on a 1656 New Netherland map by Adriaen van der Donck, a Dutch surveyor and map maker. Tribes of the Navesink lived along the South River where Jernee Mill Road is located today. Native Americans were the first settlers of Sayreville. 5.2 Federal, state and county representation.
