- Biographical Description
-
Rebecca Ann was the daughter of an enslaved woman named Hannah Grene, born in New Jersey around April 5, 1814. Under New Jersey's gradual abolition law, Rebecca Ann had the status of a slave for a term of 21 years. This meant she was bound to serve her enslaver until age 21, and then she would become eligible for emancipation.
In 1818, her enslaver was John Smock of Monmouth County, but her mother's enslaver was George Farmer of Middlesex County. A removal certificate issued for her mother in Middlesex County on July 22, 1818, notes that a Virginia resident named James K. Cook planned to buy Rebecca Ann and Hannah Grene from their respective owners and take them to Virginia. - Keywords
