Synopsis

Before the Revolution, New Jersey spoke in wills. Names rise from the dust. In this compiled archival records calendar, A. Van Doren Honeyman gathers the 1761-1770 records that track deaths, debts, inheritances, and the negotiations that held communities together. Each entry points to the legal act behind it, revealing networks of kinship, credit, and land at a moment when the province was changing fast. Documents Relating To The Colonial History Of The State Of New Jersey (First Series) Volume XXXIII presents Volume IV of the Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Administrations etc., an essential historical document collection for anyone seeking reliable probate records reference. Arranged as a working calendar, it guides you to new jersey wills, testators, executors, witnesses, places, and dates across colonial New Jersey, illuminating colonial estate administrations and the texture of 18th century probate practice. For family historians it is a sturdy family history reference; for researchers it is a focused genealogy research book that turns scattered court papers into findable evidence, supporting colonial American genealogy with precision and restraint. It also stands as one of the most useful American legal history sources for understanding how property and obligation moved through everyday lives. A dependable compass for local history, museum work, and courtroom context too. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for historians, genealogists, and collectors who value primary documentation as much as narrative.
