On 19 August, 1778 John Woortman/Wortman was charged with high treason by
the Council of Safety of the State of New Jersey, but it doesn't say which
county. He was charged with being the ringleader of a party of Tories who
had agreed to waylay and capture a party of men and carry them to Colonel
Butler and the Indians. Bergen County, Sussex or Hunterdon seem the most
likely. I've looked various places but have found nothing. Does anyone
have any ideas?
