The question was:
"Does any one know if the birth records for 1810-1815 are available for Hunterdon and Sussex counties. I am looking for one George Dailey born abt Sept 1812, possibly in Sussex county."
A general answer to this question is "NO". Birth records were not required by any governmental authority at this early date. I am not sure when they were required, but it must not have been until the late 1800s.
The Hunterdon Gazette did not list any births during its existence from 1825 through 1866 and I am not sure when the Hunterdon Democrat started their listing.
Most birth records were kept by local churches and so you must determine which one the person in whom you are interested might have been a member and then hopefully those records are still extant.
Regards, Bill
