Subject:    [Robbinsfamilysouthjersey] Hunterdon Co. NJ court records index -- Daniel Robins

Hi all,

I recently rented a film at my local LDS Family History Center.
The film is a card index of

Hunterdon Co. Index to files including recognizances, indictments, affidavits, appeals, insolvents and miscellaneous records, 1700-1900
Index to files, R-Sc 1700-1900
FHL US/CAN Film
802488

There are MANY Robins/Robbins in the index!
(The index card for "Daniel" has 33 entries for Miscellaneous records, 4 for Appeals, 1 for Indictment, and 1 for Recognizance--this last one said Daniel Jr.)

The problem is that the index gives only the name and a record number--no year!

I wondered if anyone among our group here has tried to look at the records associated with this index.

Tracey

I haven't seen the card index from LDS but I assume it's the same index
which exists in Trenton and in the Hunterdon County Hall of Records in
Flemington.

I've went through this index and the associated records with regard to the
LAKE surname but not the ROBINS surname.  (I've made the LAKE-related
records available at
http://mlake.net/lake/NewJersey/HunterdonCoCommonPleasIndex.html if anyone
is intersted.)

A year can be "guesstimated" by the Roman Numeral reference (if we're
talking about the same index).  The lower the Roman Numeral the earlier
the year beginning with 1714 (although you reference the year 1700 above
... so, maybe we're talking about different indexes).

Hi,
These records don't have any roman numerals associated with them.
So they must be a different set of records?
