East New Jersey Land Records, 1766-1772 (Books D3, E3 and F3) - Richard S Hutchinson - Bog

This volume covers the period when deeds and related records were recorded in deed books D3 (19 June 1766 to 20 October 1767), E3 (10 November 1767 to 19 April 1769) and F3 (20 April 1769 to 7 January 1772) for East New Jersey's original counties of Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, Monmouth; and also, Somerset (formed out of Middlesex County in 1688), Burlington, Hunterdon, Sussex and Morris. The period of these books, 1766 to 1772, is the general period of recording, not the date of the actual transaction (land sales, conveyances, mortgages, powers of attorney, etc.), which often predated 1702; the earliest entry is from 1690. Many familial relationships are revealed in these records. A full-name and place index adds to the value of this work.
