I noticed this item at Salt Lake [and perhaps other places; check regional
library indices]

I also searched JerseyCat Union Catalog for "morris county" and found a
number of interesting items, most available through InterLibrary Loan: [log

including:
Some early records of Morris County, New Jersey, 1740-1799 / Harriet
Stryker-Rodda, editor. [vitals]
and many others; I chose to "browse", "Morris county" in
"subjects", and cut
the 387 items down to manageable categories of interest, like genealogy.
