Event Description
The following birth record from Gloucester County was transcribed by the Historical Records Survey Project of the Works Progress Administration. The transcript was originally published in 1940 in the book titled Transcriptions of Early County Records of New Jersey: Gloucester County Series Slave Documents. The transcript is reproduced below as it appeared in that book.

John Ingersull's township of residence within Gloucester County was not written on the document. The name Samuel B. Westcott is also listed at the bottom of the note, and Westcott appears to be the person who delivered the note to the County Clerk on John Ingersull's request.
