Patents and Deeds and Other Early Records of New Jersey, 1664-1703

This monumental work contains abstracts of all the known surveys, patents, and deeds of Proprietary New Jersey (1664-1703). Thousands of documents pertaining to title and transfer of land are here sorted and calendared, each revealing the names of grantors and grantees, buyers and sellers, relatives and neighbors--most with references to specific places of residence--and further giving a precise description of the survey, including date, location, and acreage. The records are arranged under the headings of East and West Jersey and are rendered accessible by the indexes which, containing well over 10,000 main entries, bear upwards of 50,000 references.Nelson, William is the author of 'Patents and Deeds and Other Early Records of New Jersey, 1664-1703 ', published 1998 under ISBN 9780806307114 and ISBN 0806307110.
