Please see the map showing the division of East and West Jersey [ http://westjersey.org/ew.gif ]. These records are available at the NJ Archives on microfilm: Series: Department of State Secretary of State's Office Deeds, Surveys and Commissions, ca. 1650-1856 Finding Aid URL: http://www.njarchives.org/links/guides/sstse023.html Non-Governmental Records - East and West Jersey Proprietors http://www.njarchives.org/links/webcat/queries/pproprie.html Finding Aid URL: http://www.njarchives.org/links/pdf/proprietors.pdf You may also want to consult the Sussex Deed Books as I have seen deeds that provide chain of title from the Proprietary period through first sale under County Clerks (1795-forward). John Konvalinka has a great lecture outline on NJ research [ http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/jkonvalinka/NJA.htm ]. Also, here are two sites that have West Jersey info online: http://www.westjerseyhistory.org/index.shtml http://westjersey.org/index.htm Regards, -- Michelle Tucker Chubenko Professional Genealogist http://mywebpages.comcast.net/famhist/michprogen.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ukraine WorldGenWeb Country Coordinator: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ukrwgw/index.html NJGenWeb: Monmouth County http://www.rootsweb.com/~njmonmo2 OKGenWeb County Coordinator: Adair Co.: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okadair/adaircty.htm USGenWeb Archives - Oklahoma: Adair Co.: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ok/adair/adair.html Michelle's Home Page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mchub/shell.htm
