etc., are of West Jersey Wills. Thos cited as
Libers A, B, etc., are of East Jersey Wills.
Where there is no reference, the wills or other
papers, of which abstracts are given, are among the
unrecorded wills of the county to which they
pertain. Thus, on this page, the will of
George Abbott (or Abbott) is recorded in Liber No.
3, of West Jersey Wills, page 61. The

Besides the regular series of West Jersey wills,
there are three of Salem Wills, and many are to be
found in the Burlington Records. In some cases
where the county is not designated in the papers,
the reference has been added, as "Middlesex Wills,"
meaning that the papers are not recorded, but may be
