Hi, Have you looked in Bucks County, Pa, just across the Delaware . I understand some early records from Jersey were recorded there.

The Hunterdon County Library has two reels of microfilm issued by the NJ State Archives, "Index to Marriages, 1670-1840," which may give a clue to the date of the marriage. I seem to recall reading somewhere that Hiram Deats estimated that perhaps only half of the marriages performed ever got recorded in county or state archives. The County Library also has eight microfilm reels, "Marriage licenses (bonds), 1711-1797" issued by the NJ State Archives. I have not looked at them lately, but as I recall they were organized by the names of the spouses. To organize records by the name of the officiant or minister would seem to be a very unhelpful method for researchers. We also have "Somerset County, New Jersey, Marriages, 1795-1878" by Meeker, "New Jersey Marriage Records, 1665-1800" by Nelson, "Marriage Records of Hunterdon County, 1795-1875" by Deats, and "Marriage Records of Hunterdon County, 1876-1900" by the Beacon/News.

Hi Leslie, I have been researching my Allen's in Hunterdon Co. for quite awhile. I am looking to find my ggreatgrandfather's parents. His name was Abraham Allen and he married Margaret Bellis also of Hunterdon Co. They lived in Hunterdon Co. in the early 1800's as he was born in 1770 in Amwell Twsp., died in 1837 and buried in Newell Cemetery. I have tried numerous times to find who his father was and wondered if Deats book would be of any help and if it can be found in any library. If you have any suggestions as to how I could get any marriage information I woud appreciate hearing from you. Thanking you in advance for your assistance.
