Rita,
yes, there are many great sources in the NJ area, the David Library being at or close to the top. I was looking to "cheat" and not have to transcribe so many items. I have done some transcribing of journals, etc. to start this site. It has been slow going, and I thought that it would be nice to not duplicate so much when other people have done it and would be willing to share.

contemplating putting together a site which would help document our
ancestors during the revolution through pension applications and other
source documents. However, given the enormity of the task I am asking for
help. Therefore, I am requesting that if anyone on this list has
transcribed any revolutionary documents to please contact me. I would like
to obtain copies of the transcriptions and copies of the original sources to
compile into some organized format and to evenutally post onto a website.

use of multiple sources I believe we can establish a better understanding of
their efforts, lend more credibility to the folklore and family myths of our
ancestors, and perhaps we can better document the battles in NJ and the
contributions of the NJ soldiers and militia.
