I missed the original question, but would like to add that in Virginia as cryer is an auctioneer. He was paid for crying the sale (at estate sales).

I am not researching Wortman but have a suggestion...If you have not checked the Wortman genealogy forum it might give you a clue to do so.

To NJHUNTER List Members Here is the response that I received from Roxanne Carkhuff, Secretary to the Hunterdon County Historical Society. Sorry that the answer is not more positive. You may write to the HCHS c/o Roxanne Carkhuff HCHS 114 Main Street Flemington, NJ 08822 Please be very specific with as much detail as you can. Include full names, dates, relationships - whatever to make the search as thorough as possible. And thank you all for your interest and support of the Hunterdon Gazette Project. Regards, Bill Her response: "I presume Judy Arthur is asking about "Some Records of Old Hunterdon County" Phyllis' first book which the Society did not print. HCHS does not own rights to the book. I doubt Ted D'Autrechy would be interested in reprinting. I guess HCHS could offer to look up references to a surname and photocopy for a fee. Do you think that would satisfy most inquiries? I don't think now is the time for HCHS to get into trying reprint for several reasons. We are probably going to move forward on a building on land at Flemington Junction before the end of 2005. I think that will take all our time and energy. Also, we are too crowded to take delivery of 500 books and that's what it would take to get a reprint at a price anyone would be willing to pay. That's why HCHS printed 500 of "More Records..." volumes I and II. and volume III is in the works. Phyllis and I each opted to work on record groups. With her health deteriorating and then her death, I took responsibility for all that was left so I don't have any spare time to devote to another reprint." Roxanne

Hi list, Definition of Town Crier from Encarta also see http://www.towncrier.on.ca/ town cri·er (plural town cri·ers) noun 1. gossip: somebody who makes public information about other people's lives ( informal ) 2. somebody who makes public announcements: somebody employed by a town, especially formerly, to make public announcements in the streets. Also called crier Hope this helps Don

Rick, Wondering if you might have a Josephine Ammerman who married John R. Sutton before 1868, possibly in New York (as I've not found a marriage in NJ yet). She was born c. 1849 in New York. Have nothing on her parents but looking to close up that link if possible.
