Default White wildflower in northern NJ

Kindly identify the wildflower in these photos. The plant is common in July
in northern New Jersey.

Queen Anne's lace, Daucus carota. It is the wild ancestor of the carrot. I
believe it is a native of Europe.
In the future, I suggest you look in a field guide to wild flowers first.
