Nicholas Van Wickle was the son of Judge Jacob Van Wickle, and was involved in his father's notorious slave trading ring in Middlesex County, New Jersey. In 1818, Nicholas Van Wickle helped his father and his uncle Charles Morgan buy up groups of enslaved people in New Jersey and then falsify legal documents to facilitate the shipment of these enslaved people to the Deep South where they could be sold for a huge profit.
