New Jersey in 1793: An Abstract and Index to the 1793 Militia Census of the State of New Jersey

A list of all men, based on ratables, created as a result of an NJ Law of 30 Nov 1792 "to take a list of all and every free and able-bodied white male Citizen, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five Years."

Those who did not serve and paid a $3 tax, as well as certain occupations, are listed as "exempt." There are no extant 1793 ratables from Bergen, Cape May, Salem, and Somerset, but a list of these men was reconstructed.
