Hi Noah and welcome to this list,

There is one New Jersey in my databases:

Deal, L6
Long Branch, Monmouth County
New Jersey, U.S.A.
40° 15' N / 074° 00' W
Fell 1829, August 15, 00:30 hrs
TKW: about 30 grams

20g, Philadelphia, Acad. Nat. Sci.
05g, Paris, Mus. d'Hist. Nat.
03g, Washington, U.S. Nat. Mus.
01g, Tempe, Arizona State Univ.
BM London,  less than 1g, less than 0.5 gram.

Several stones appear to have fallen after the appearance of a fireball
and detonations, but only one, about 3 inches long, was found on a farm
5 miles SW. of Long Branch, R. Vaux and T. McEuen, J. Acad. Nat. Sci.,
Philadelphia, 1829, 6, p.181. Description, F.J. Keeley, Proc. Acad. Nat.

Best regards,

Bernd
