Teresa They have these on film at the State Archives in Trenton and they are available on Inter-Library loan from there. They may also be available through the LDS - but I'm not sure of that. They will give you information on the head of household relative to land holdings, and things like number of cows or sheep owned, etc. I don't think they provide any family information - not even a head count or age range. I do not think the records indicate whether a "land holder" was an owner or tenant. There may be more information on these records at the State Archives website: http://www.njarchives.org/links/reference.html Hopefully others on this list will be able to give you more specific info!
