Hi Rachel,

There is a film available through a local family history center titled,
"Damages in Hunterdon County during the Revolution". Any one who had
lost farms, businesses, cows etc could file a claim of damages and ask
for compensation. I don't have the film number handy, but have looked
at it a few years ago and found it interesting.
