I have made copies of several death records from the NJ Archives. The
one that may be of the most interest to others is a Return of Deaths in
the Township of Kingwood, County of Hunterdon, State of New Jersey from
the first day of May 1874 to the first day of May 1878. The page that I
have lists numbers 1 through 23 (I do not know if there are additional
pages). The headings going across are: No., Date of Death (year is not
included), name of deceased, sex, married status, age, occupation, place
of death (each is Kingwood so I will not include this in data),place of
birth, names of parents, cause of death, time of making record (this was
not done very often, thus I will not include this data as well).

The 23 records are as follows:

Rittenhouse Consumption
