Wendy, I bookmarked this page awhile back and refer to it often. Thank you for having taken the time to digitize this so it could be posted to Jan's wonderful RAUB site.

It's a transcription of an article that Henry Race, MD wrote for "The Jerseyman" (an early publication of the Hunt. Hist. Soc.). The title, "Colonial Naturalization, 1713-1772". There are 5 BELLESFELT's on the list...William (8 July 1730); Adam, Johan William, and Peter (all 8 Dec 1744), and finally Johannes (29 May 1756). Naturalization was not required of those of English, Irish or Scottish descent. Requirements were ownership of 100 acres of land, or a personal estate of 50 pounds. Here's the url for the page: http://www.raub-and-more.com/colonialnatlist.html There are a LOT of Hunterdon names on this list, so others may want to take a look.
