Event Description
Somerset County birth records of enslaved children contain the following record:

Book A, Page 100
Child: Robert
Mother: name not listed
Enslaver of mother and child: John Van Horne
Location: Montgomery
Birth date: 1 May 1811
Clerk: Samuel Swan

This birth certificate did not list the township where the child was born, but another certificate submitted by John Van Horne recorded his place of residence as Montgomery township. Thus, it can be inferred that Robert was likely born in that area.
