- Event Description
- Saul was manumitted by Joseph Barron of Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey.

The document stated that Saul was examined in court and met the eligibility requirements for manumission in New Jersey, i.e. the person was 21 to 40 years old and was "sound in mind and not under any bodily incapacity" of obtaining a livelihood. Saul's exact age was not recorded in the document. This manumission was recorded by the Middlesex County Clerk (William P. Deare) on June 14, 1803.
