'''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 [http://nj.gov/state/darm/index.html New Jersey State Archives]. The Family History Library has road returns for Atlantic, Essex, Gloucester, Middlesex, and Somerset counties. | '''Road Returns'''.
