Introductory  Note 


This,  the  fourth  volume  of  Abstracts  of  Wills  of  New  Jer- 
sey, includes  wills,  admix  _  uardianships  app 
ing  on  the  records  in  Trenton  as  tiled  or  recorded  from  Jan. 
i.  1761.  to  December  31,  1770.  a  period  of  ten  years.  The 
abstracts  were  made  by  Dr.  Joseph  H.  Satterthwaite.  of  Tren- 
ton and  the  Index  under  superintendence  of  the  Editor. 

First  dates  in  boldface  type  are  often  prior  to  1760.  and 
indicate  when  the  will  to  which  the  date  refers  was  executed 
(not  probated).     The  name  so  printed  is  ac  g  \      the 

■-.ature  to  the  will,  however  it  may  differ  in  the  text  I 
follows. 

All  proper  names  of  persons  and  places  are  believed  to  be 
printed  as  in  the  originals.  This  early  period  was  one.  however, 
when  names  were  spelled  so  indifferently  that  the  reader  m 
have  to  consider  various  ways  of  spelling  in  order  to  discover 
certain  of  the  surnames. 

The   Index  does   not   repeat  the   surnames   of   those  whose 
wills,   etc..   are  abstracted,   except   in  the  instances   where  al- 
ternative spellings,  in  parentheses,  are  so  extremely  diver, 
from  the  alphab  --.ngement  that  they  may  not  be  other- 

wise  discovered.      But   neither   first   nor  alternative   spel' 
can  always  be  considered  to  be  correct  spellir_-  "ding  to 

modern   usages. 

This  publication  is  madej  possible  by  Legislative  appropria- 
tion.
