Howdy folks - not much happening on the list of late, so thought maybe I could generate some. The following extracted list was taken from the subset of 'Abstracts of Wills,' Volumes 1, 2 and 3 only, of a 13 volume set within the New Jersey Archives series. Included is a reference to what type of entry occurred - Will; Ward - meaning assignment of a Guardian; Adm - meaning the naming of an administer of an estate for someone who died without a will (Intestate); Inv - meaning an inventory done on an estate, probably for someone who also died intestate. In every case the first date listed under the column entitled ENTRY/PROVED, is the earliest date of a surviving document. Also, in some cases, no dates may be listed either for when a will was written, or when it was proved. An asterisk (*) appears following two entries, indicating that the will owners were of Essex county, but their inventories were filed in Bergen county. Omissions may have occurred, possibly due to: 1) I just missed them; 2) they never were published in these volumes; 3) no county reference appeared. My apologies for my own failings. Anyone wishing full transcription of any entry may contact me off list, at treetrails@hotmail.com and I'll send them along as they are completed. Kindly include the surname wanted in the 'subject' line of the message, and then the name & source data in your 'text' area. Requests NOT containing a 'source' reference will not be answered. I hope to complete extracting BERGEN county entries from the remaining 10 volumes, but this will take some time, and so keep a look-out for future postings. Enjoy & Happy Trails.
