In the 1895 New Jersey census, those born in the USA are recorded as Native Born. There is no mention of the state of birth, just a tick mark in the Native Born column.

The place-name standardization program has made them all born in Arkansas.

@N Tychonievich - another one for you, please. Thanks.
