Hi Faye,

The counties weren't required to keep birth records until 1845, so
there are no county records for the birthdate you listed. You're only
hope is church records are cemetery records, which then would be
dependent on the church location, not so much what county.

Otherwise, if a county was formed from another county and a birth
occured in the original county, you would look in the original county.
I know that when Warren County was formed from Hunterdon, they
supposedly passed on a lot of the records for the newly formed county,
but a lot of the records were integral and not possibly to separate.
My experience has been to go to the original county, since at the time
of the birth/death/property sale etc...it happened in Hunterdon, the
records are in Hunterdon.

Hope this helps.
