I have relatives that came via Philadelphia and lived in NJ and Philly area in early years and I have been told that early records in NJ are hard to get due to the War of 1812 many fires destroyed early records. A lot of people that came via Philly lived in counties normally around that area on both side of PA and NJ and then moved westward.   Below is one site I have found some records on so maybe some of you will find something there on your relatives.   http://raub-and-more.com/resources.html   Midge Ryan Tomlinson Deming, NM
