1793 Militia Census
Note from the Publications Committee of MCGS:
The
militia listings were created due to the reorganization of the State Militia of
New Jersey in 1793.� These records list
almost every free, white able-bodied male between the ages of 18 & 45 in
the state at that time.� This is very
important because the 1790 census for the state of These
lists have been prepared from the
original manuscript, not from the version that was previously
published.� This manuscript is
questionable as it is in the handwriting of one person throughout.� It seems likely that the writer may have
misread some of the material he used to prepare the manuscript.� We tried to indicate cases where this factor
may be operating.� We also, of course,
had the usual problems with distinguishing between letters "a" and
"o" and �e�. Return of the Militia,
