New Jersey Archives

"New Jersey Archives" is an essential primary source collection documenting the administrative, legal, and social history of New Jersey during the colonial and early statehood periods. Volume 33 continues the invaluable series of testamentary records, specifically providing detailed abstracts of wills covering the years 1761 through 1770. This volume serves as a critical resource for historians, genealogists, and legal researchers seeking to understand the distribution of property, family lineages, and the socioeconomic landscape of the mid-18th century.

Each entry typically includes the name of the testator, their place of residence, dates of writing and probate, and a comprehensive summary of bequests and legacies. By compiling these diverse records, "New Jersey Archives" offers a detailed window into the daily lives and final wishes of the state's early inhabitants. Whether tracing a family tree or researching colonial law and custom, this volume provides meticulously transcribed data that preserves the heritage of the region. As part of a larger multi-volume set, it remains a cornerstone of American colonial scholarship and a vital tool for uncovering the foundational documents of New Jersey's history.
