'''Mortgages'''. The earliest mortgages date from 1724. The mortgages often include a schedule of payments, the names of the assignees (persons to whom property is legally transferred), and the name of the mortgagor. New Jersey mortgages were seldom recorded until the date the mortgage was discharged.

'''Lis Pendens'''. Lis pendens (disputes over land title) exist for all counties from about the mid-1800s to the present. They are found at the offices of the county clerks. These often contain detailed lists of all the heirs of someone who has died. The Family History Library has microfilm copies of lis pendens for Bergen, Essex, Hunterdon, and Union counties.<br>

'''Road Returns'''. A rather unique source that is particularly useful for colonial New Jersey research is the road returns or road surveys. Road returns give the names of property owners through whose property the roads were to run and sometimes give the names of former property owners with the note "deceased." They are usually found at the county courthouses. Copies of road returns for most counties are on microfilm at the &lt;a href="http://www.nj.gov/state/archives/index.html"&gt;New Jersey State Archives&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.nj.gov/state/archives/catsuroads.html"&gt;Road Returns and Related Material&lt;/a&gt;. The Family History Library has road returns for Atlantic, Essex, Gloucester, Middlesex, and Somerset counties.
