The Monmouth County Archives has records from the Court of Common Pleas, and I believe from the Court of Oyer and Terminer as well. The Monmouth County Archives has a database of references to records, used by Adelberg (the database was compiled by Adelberg). They can probably give you a manuscript # for the record of John Kirby going to Phil. with no pass, and perhaps for William Kirby's military records. With that information you can then contact the NJ State Archives to order copies of the original documents. This probably will not help you determine which William, John, or Thomas are being referenced since these records rarely contain genealogical information or verifying signatures. Of course you never know if you don't try! Good luck.
