East New Jersey Land Records, 1747-1757 (Books G2 and H2)

This volume covers the period when deeds and related records were recorded in deed books G2 (28 October 1747 to 13 December 1751) and H2 (5 February 1752 to 23 June 1757) for the counties of Essex, Middlesex, Monmouth and Somerset. There are numerous instances of transactions that occurred as far back as the early 1700s (with one dated 1668/9) but for various reasons not recorded until 1747–1757. Although Bergen County was a part of East New Jersey, the records for this period were recorded at the county courthouse and are not included here. Many familial relationships are revealed in these records. A full-name index adds to the value of this work.
