Middlesex County - Surrogate's Office
Middlesex County was formed 7 March 1683 as an original county in the Province of East Jersey. East and West Windsor Townships, in old Middlesex County, became part of present-day Mercer County in 1838.
Recording of wills and estate inventories at the county level began in 1804. Orphans Courts were established in 1785. Consult the Secretary of State page linked below for original estate records for the 1660s-1900 period.
The State Archives' holdings vary from county to county. Consult the Collecting Policy for additional information about our accessioning guidelines.
