I have locted a reference in the "Documents Relating To The Colonial History Of The State Of New Jersey, Volume XXI, 1664-1703, edited by William Nelson, printed by Paterson, NJ for the New Jersey Histoical Society in 1899. This reference reads "1679 July 9. Deed. Samule Norris of Watlin St. London to William Cooper senior, late of Amersun, Buckingham Co., smith, now of West Jersey, for 50 acres of his 2-7 land in W. J., bo't with Abraham Goedowne of Edward Byllinge July4-5, 1678. This is under the West Jersey Reords-Liber B, Pat 1. It would indicate that Abraham Goedowne was in West Jersey as early as 1678!
