Hi Folks,
In addition to what Kathy recommended you can check a local university library to see if they have the printed New Jersey Archives which includes a host of information but also wills from about the beginning to 1800. The printed New Jersey Archives includes newspaper accounts, wills, deeds and court records. Its a series of about 15 books and very useful, especially for people who can't get to N.J. Since many university libraries have on-line cataloges you can check university libraries from home to see who has the printed N.J. Its also known as the Colonial Documents of New Jersey.
