Wendy,

I bookmarked this page awhile back and refer to it often. Thank you for
having taken the time to digitize this so it could be posted to Jan's
wonderful RAUB site.

Jackie, Don't know if this info will be of any help, but I recalled the name

Bellesfelt from a transcription that I made, and Jan Raub Reuther posted on
her site. It's a transcription of an article that Henry Race, MD wrote for
"The
Jerseyman" (an early publication of the Hunt. Hist. Soc.). The title,
"Colonial Naturalization, 1713-1772".

There are 5 BELLESFELT's on the list...William (8 July 1730); Adam, Johan
William, and Peter (all 8 Dec 1744), and finally Johannes (29 May 1756).
Naturalization was not required of those of English, Irish or Scottish
descent.
Requirements were ownership of 100 acres of land, or a personal estate of 50
pounds.

Here's the url for the page:

There are a LOT of Hunterdon names on this list, so others may want to take
a
look.

Happy Hunting, Wendy
