I've returned the copy of _New Jersey in 1793_ by James S. Norton [An abstract and index to the 1793 Militia Census of the State of New Jersey], which I borrowed on interlibrary loan [from the Smithsonian library!]. before I sent it back, I copied the index and the 'Abstracts of the Militia Census of 1793' of Burlington and Middlesex counties and the 'Abstract of 1793 Militia' of Monmouth county, so I can perform lookups for others who don't have immediate access to this resource. keeping in mind this is a military census-- meanining men under age 18 or over age 45 [or non-white] are likely to NOT appear in this listing --I'm happy and willing to do lookups. I can provide citings from the names in the index, and if they are on the pages [in the counties] I copied, I'll provide that info as well. the lists include those who paid an annual fee of $3 to be exempted from Military Duty, artillery, Troop of Horse, and are listed by township in each county. please send your ancestor's name, and if known, county [esp in cases of common name], and in the subject line, please put > NJ lookup < so my sort filter will help you find me faster. also, please be patient; my work picks up every now & then and delays my genealogy time somewhat. thanks, and good luck to us all! kirby in NC kirbz@northstate.net researching KIRBY, BRITTON, CLAYTON, GASTON and others in NJ
