East Jersey Proprietary Records. The proprietary land records for East Jersey have not been microfilmed. The Family History Library has transcripts of surveys for what is now Passaic County, titled Perth Amboy Surveys for East Jersey, 1678 to 1814 (FHL films 947881-83; computer number 320117, index on film 947881; computer number 320117). The Surveyor General's Office, 272 High Street, Perth Amboy, has surveys and warrants, beginning in 1719; surveys, 1783 to the present; returns of surveys; and minutes. You
can request a search of these, for a fee, by writing to:
General Board of Proprietors of the Eastern Division of New Jersey
Mr. Frederick A. Gerken, Registrar
550 E. Bay Avenue
P.O. Box 32
Barnegat, NJ 08005

Believe someone has compiled early Monmouth Co. NJ Land Deeds in book form; out by Heritage Books of Bowie, MD.

Believe they have a web site, if interested I will try to dig up their site address.

Also Willow Bend has a site with books for sale. Believe their is just www.willowbend.com

Since I now know that John Hampton of early Freehold, NJ was one of my ancestors, I missed pulling all his information; so I will have to go back through all those deeds again.
