New York City was Tory central, and some of that bled into NJ (and New Brunswick was a major British garrison city).
From David Hackett Fischer's Washington's Crossing it seems that most of NJ did want to just be left alone (switching sides with whoever was winning at the time) but there were fierce partisans on both sides.
I'd highly recommend Fischer's book, and also recommend Tories by Thomas Allen on the subject. Tories is not as good though, possibly due to covering a broader subject.
The civil war in NJ wasn't as cruel as it was down South though.
