War of 1812

 

1793 Militia Census 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 New Jersey was destroyed.
