To Judy Russell and the rest of the Bush River Quakers.   If you have ancestral sources whose trail passes through NY, NJ, or PA here is a list of 12,600 marriage licenses issued from the 1600s to 1797 where at least one of the parties had residence or family connection to NJ.  I have gone through the entire list and my estimate is the it covers about 10% of the actual marriages of that period.  Where the rest are is up to conjecture but my take on it is they were tossed due to decomposition or the British burned them during the Rev. War, as they were wont to do.  Whatever - you may have families that are covered in this collection from:  1   The Archives, State of New Jersey, First Series, Marriage Licenses Issued by New Jersey 1663 - 1797  2   History of the State of New Jersey, Vol. XXII  1665 - 1800       William Nelson, Patterson, NJ 1900 Have a good time.     Dave Gauntt www.ancestralcurios.com/cgi-bin/FileShow.pl?zipfile=NJ_license_marr.zip
