Depending on when your ancestors arrived, there may be naturalization records. I found one for my ancestor in the archives at the Hall of Records in Flemington [County Clerk's Office next to the old Court House]. He applied in 1836 and the final papers were signed and duly recorded in 1838. It contained a wealth of information including where he was born in England! The reference for this was one of the books by Phyllis D'Autrechy on old records of Hunterdon County - not sure of the exact name! Regards, Bill

I'm quite certain that includes the naturalization papers. Marfy
