Finding burial records in Mendham Township
- Death records for Mendham Township. Copies of New Jersey vital records can be ordered from the state or from the local vital records office, so ask the Mendham Township municipal clerk where its local registrar is.

- Local historical society. Historical societies often hold gravestone transcriptions, cemetery surveys and family files. The New Jersey State Library and the New Jersey State Archives in Trenton are good statewide sources.
- Morris County wills and deeds. Wills and estates are handled by the Morris County Surrogate. The New Jersey State Archives holds original wills from 1670 to 1900, but Morris County's surrogate record books were not microfilmed, so ask the county for them.
