Preface

This, the sixth volume of "Abstracts of Wills of New Jersey,"
was prepared from the originals on file in the Secretary of State's
office at Trenton by the late Dr. Joseph H. Satterthwaite of that
city, who is recognized as an authority in this field of work. The
wills have been arranged in alphabetical form, edited and indexed
by the Editor. In all instances the names of towns and hamlets,
local designations, household furnishings, farm implements, etc.,
are spelled exactly as they appear in the original documents.
"Variations in spelling of proper names will often be found in
the body of the same abstract, but in all cases the name of the
testator or testatrix, which appears at the beginning of each
abstract, conforms to the spelling of his or her signature.

Where wills, administrations, etc., were regularly recorded at
Trenton, the book and page where the record may be found are
stated. Where originals were simply filed as papers, but not
recorded, as happened with many wills and inventories, the
reference is given 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 Secre-
tary of State's office at Trenton where they are accessible to the
public and where one is certain to be accorded every courtesy by
the official in charge.

The indexing of this volume follows the method adhered to by
the late A. Van Doren Honeyman in preparing the preceding
volume of this series. While many spellings have been rectified
to conform with present-day practice the original spellings like-
wise appear. It is important to remember that the Index of
Persons does not include the names of testators, etc., which are
printed in bold face type throughout the volume and which are
alphabetically arranged.
