Stryker-Rodda. Kenn. Revolutionary Census of New Jersey, Cottonport, LA: Polyanthos, 1972.
Anyone who has attempted genealogical research in New Jersey is aware of the fact that the federal census returns for the state for the years, 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1820 are not extant.  Moreover, only a few fragments of colonial censuses exist, and many records of the colonial period -- public, private and ecclesiastical -- were destroyed, or taken away by Loyalists during the Revolutionary War.

the only records that are state-wide are the tax ratables.  Of at least 50,000 such lists compiled between 1773 and 1822, some 1,845 have been preserved.  For the Revolutionary period there is at least one list for each of the townships into which the thirteen counties of the colony/state were divided.

I need to recheck this for Clark, Darby, Marsh, Wood, Cutter, Morse
