> Susan,
> The "Calendar of Wills" is a 13-volume subset of the "Archives of New
> Jersey, First Series." A sample full title is "Documents Relating to the
> Colonial, Revolutionary and Post-Revolutionary History of the State of New
> Jersey / First Series--Volume XLII / Calendar of New Jersey Wills,
> Administrations, Etc. Volume XIII - 1814-1817." Despite the title page,
> the title on the book's spine is "New Jersey Archives" and "Abstracts of
> Wills." The wills are organized by years, but not by month or day. Each
> volume has a full-name index, but there is no overall index for all 13
> volumes. Without a death date, a researcher has to go to the index of
> every volume. Here are the The N.J. Archives, First Series, volume
> numbers, the volume number for each "Abstracts of Wills" volume, and the
> years covered.
> N.J. Archives, First Series, Vol. 23 = Abstracts, Vol. 1, 1670-1730
> N.J. Archives, First Series, Vol. 30 = Abstracts, Vol. 2, 1730-1750
> N.J. Archives, First Series, Vol. 32 = Abstracts, Vol. 3, 1751-1760
> N.J. Archives, First Series, Vol. 33 = Abstracts, Vol. 4, 1761-1770
> N.J. Archives, First Series, Vol. 34 = Abstracts, Vol. 5, 1771-1780
> N.J. Archives, First Series, Vol. 35 = Abstracts, Vol. 6, 1781-1785
> N.J. Archives, First Series, Vol. 36 = Abstracts, Vol. 7, 1786-1790
> N.J. Archives, First Series, Vol. 37 = Abstracts, Vol. 8, 1791-1795
> N.J. Archives, First Series, Vol. 38 = Abstracts, Vol. 9, 1796-1800
> N.J. Archives, First Series, Vol. 39 = Abstracts, Vol. 10, 1801-1805
