New Jersey Tax Records
Since
the Census Records for 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1820 for New Jersey did
not survive, the best that can be done is use the state tax records. See the page on New Jersey Tax Records.
Census Records
The 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1820
censuses of New Jersey were lost. There were no state or territorial
censuses until
1885. There are a few very early quit rents, etc and various lists from
tax records have been published to try to take the place of these
records. These are on the New Jersey Research page.

New Jersey Map
I am including the following map of New Jersey to clarify something.
Prior to 1800, there are Clover records in Salem County,
Hunterdon County, Somerset County, Morris County. If you look at
the map you will see that Salem County does not seem to have
a close geographical connection with the rest. On the other
hand, the other three counties actually are contiguous with each other.
I have been told for example that Mary Cooper Clover could not
have been Philip Clover's wife because they lived in different
counties. But the counties actually share a border.
