PREFACE

This second volume of "Abstracts of Wills" of New Jersey
is published long after the first volume, known as. Vol. XXIII
of the "New Jersey Archives," (First Series), owing, in part,
to peculiar circumstances. The MSS. for it,, which was pre-
pared with much labor by employed abstracters at Trenton, was
about ready for the printer when the great Paterson fire of
1902 destroyed it in the office of the late Mr. William Nelson,
then the New Jersey Historical Society's Corresponding Secre-
tary and Editor of the work. After a long time and much
additional expense the entire copy was replaced under Mr.
Nelson's direction, but he was. unable to edit it previous to his
death (in 1914), nor has. the Society been able to print it until
the present time.

The preceding volume of "Abstracts" was intended to in-
clude all wills and administrations up to and during the year
1750. But the present Editor discovered numerous omissions
in 1730 probates, and included them in this volume, which is,
therefore, entitled as beginning with that year. Other omis-
sions in the reproduced MSS., between the years 1731 and
1750, have also been supplied. There are likewise included
herein abstracts of wills, which, hearing the date of 1750, were
probated later. In all, particulars of about 3,025 testaments, in-
testacies or guardianships are included in this volume, besides
the few in the Appendix.

In order to compress the large number of entries for the
twenty-one years actually embraced in these pages and to keep
within the legislative appropriation applicable to the work, two
sizes of small but perfectly clear type have been employed.

The spelling of proper names of persons and places,, in-
cluding abbreviations of Christian names, are believed to fol-
low the original These often vary in the same abstract, but

PREFACE

are printed as found, although as many names, especially in
inventories, are nearly undecipherable, errors of transcription
in some cases have, doubtless, been unavoidable. In the "Index
of Names of Persons," however, an endeavor has been made
to straighten out the misspellings to a certain extent, so as to
classify well-known proper surnames under present-day
orthography. This seemed to be necessary in order to simplify
the search for usual proper names.

A critical user of the volume may observe that the abstracts,
which were made by different persons, are not based upon a
perfectly harmonized plan; but, as in all cases the essential
facts are stated, this cannot be a matter of moment.

In preparing the copy for the printer the Editor, as a matter
of course, could net verify the accuracy of the MSS., but has
endeavored to have the printing correctly follow it, and, to
some extent, has harmonized the work of the abstracters.

Where wills, administrations, etc., were regularly recorded
at Trenton, the book and page where the record may be found
are stated. In such cases, to find the original wills, including
inventories, etc., the printed three volumes published by the
Secretary of State in I9i2-'i3, entitled "Index to Wills," must
be consulted. Where originals were simply filed as papers, but
not recorded, as happened with many wills and all inventories,
the reference given is to the number of the filing case in which
the original papers may be found.

The books of record and all original papers in the matters
noted are preserved in the well-lighted basement of the Secre-
tary of State's office at Trenton, with a polite and trained
official in charge.

It may be of interest to some readers not familiar with the
exact value of a few of the terms or expressions employed in
various of the wills and inventories to state them. The word
"yeoman" was in common use to signify a freeholder. The
"£" (pound), which, with shillings and pence, constituted the
lawful basis for the calculation of financial accounts, is to be
valued at about $2.50, although its purchasing power in that
day was probably five times what it now is. The double-year
dating, which may look confusing to some readers, arose from

PREFACE 7

the fact that in America, as in England, while the historic year
ended December 31, the legal year ended on March 24, and this
continued until 1750. Therefore, in reading, for example, a
date such as Feb. 4, 1 740-1, it is to be considered that the real
year was 1741 historically, but 1740 legally. Unfortunately,
all the wills, inventories, etc., noted in this work, between Jan.
1 and Mar. 24, do not bear a double-year date, as they should.
No attempt has been made to alter the MSS. printed from in
this respect, except in a few instances where the correct double
dating was a matter of certainty.

It may be noted also that, unless otherwise stated, the
amounts of inventories of estates are always of personalty
only ; that in various wills the word "brother," as used, has an
uncertain meaning, and may refer to brother-in-law, step- or
half-brother, or to a member of the same religious denomina-
tion ; and that where names of testators in the bold face type
are spelled in some alternate manner, it signifies that in the
same document, or some corelated document, proof of such
variation occurs.

A glance over the ''Index of Names of Persons" at the end
of the volume would seem to indicate that the names in-
clude a pretty large proportion of all the adult population of
the State during the twenty-one year period covered by this
work. A careful searcher will also find hundreds of cases
where are stated one's exact neighbors (usually owning ad-
joining lands), and in many instances the names of every mem-
ber of a family. It is the latter feature which will make
this work of interest to searchers in genealogical lines.

We do not call attention to the unusual or curious wills to be
found in these pages ; there are few such. The chief interest
and value of the volume are in the early names of persons and
places, and in the particular dates relating to both living and
deceased citizens of New Jersey at this early period. The record
of these names and dates cannot fail to prove of permanent
use to both present and future generations of students of the
history of the old-time families of our State.

In the matter of early names of places a glance at the "Index
of Place-Names" will show manv old Indian and Dutch-derived

8 PREFACE

names, either long since gone out of existence or greatly cor-
rupted by time. For example, the following (many erronously
spelled) : Carrostoga, Covehaukin, Cuckowder, Gemocenepa,
Hadgy, Leopeatenung, Machiscotuxin, Manatico, Manusking,
Markashoop, Matchesqatonk, Mohoppony, Naugblomsoon, Ra-
menesin, Rapeketon, Sessoconneta, Shabbacunck, Steenraapje,
Tatamus. Wickohoe, Wintepoc, Whopemenchonhhong, Zuck-
ar uning.

It would require about two more volumes similar to this one
to carry on the Abstracts of Wills to the year 1804, when the
records at Trenton ceased and wills thereafter were recorded
in each county. It is to be hoped such volumes may be pub-
lished under State auspices at some time in the future.

APPENDIX

Abstracts of Some Wills Referred to in Preceding Volume
of Wills, but not Fully printed therein.

[Note. — The following abstracts of wills are, with an exception or
two, noted in the preceding volume of "Wills of New Jersey" ("N. J.
Archives," Vol. XXIII), but without the usual abstract of each being
given. Instead, reference is made to a preceding volume of the
"Archives" (Vol. XXI) for such abstract. This obliges those con-
sulting Vol. XXIII to hunt up Vol. XXI in order to secure the informa-
tion. As various possessors of Vol. XXIII, including some public
libraries, have not Vol. XXI to which to refer, it has been thought
advisable to incorporate in this Appendix the abstracts omitted from
Vol. XXIII, in order that the two volumes of wills shall actually con-
tain all Abstracts from 1670 to 1750.

These Abstracts have been carefully looked up and copied by Mr.
Frederick A. Canfleld, of Dover, one of the officers of the New Jersey
Historical Society. In printing them herewith an alphabetical ar-
rangement has been followed; also some verbal condensation has been
employed, without, however, disturbing the facts.

The references given are to the original records, viz., East Jersey
Deeds (E. J. D.) and West Jersey Records (W. J. R.). If sought for
in Volumes XXI or XXIII of the New Jersey Archives, consult the
Indices therein. — Editor.]
