- Event Description
-
Phillis Neilson was recorded as a member of the African Association of New Brunswick who paid dues during the meeting of January 1, 1822. She paid 25 cents membership dues (the customary 6-month dues for enslaved members of the organization). Her name was recorded in the association's minute book as "Phillis Nelson." At the time of this meeting, she was still an enslaved woman, but she would be manumitted by John Neilson fifteen days later.
This is the last time that Phillis's name is recorded in the organization's minute book; she was a member from 1820 to 1822. - Event Type
