... book ...was "The Hunterdon County New Jersey Militia, 1792" compiled
by Hiriam E. Deats, sec. of the Hunterdon County Hist. Soc., pub. 1936 in
Flemington, NJ....
<<As to dates, it charged the officers with enrollment of "every free and
able-bodied white male citizen between the ages of 18 and 45". An additional
quote from the intro: " the book containing the enrollment of the Hunterdon
County Militia, compiled pursuant to the law of 1792, and from which the
following records were copied, was formerly on file in the County Clerk's
office, but is now in the Public Record Office at Trenton"...I assume it now
resides in the NJ State Archives.

Unfortunately, I didn't copy the pages for Kingwood. I do however have the
lists of officers for Reading, Lebanon, Tewkesbury, Kingwood, Alexandria,
and
Bethlehem Townships. ...I also have the full list for Alexandria Twp., a
list of the Amwell Twp. Exempts (not serving), and a partial list of
Bethlehem Twp. (Abel, Mathias to Farrow, William). >>
