An enslaved woman named Kate, aged 38, and her daughter Issabel, aged 4, moved with enslaver John Toan from South Amboy, New Jersey, to Cayuga County, New York, in 1812.
A removal certificate authorizing John Toan to remove Kate from the state of New Jersey was issued by the Court of Common Pleas of Middlesex County on February 22, 1812. The certificate was signed by two judges (Asa Runyon and John Outcalt). The document stated that Kate was examined by the judges and consented to move with John Toan to Cayuga County, New York. The certificate was recorded by the County Clerk (William P. Deare) on February 22, 1812.
A removal certificate for Issabel was issued at the same time and signed by the same officials. Issabel's certificate said that the child was examined by the judges and consented to move with John Toan to Cayuga County, New York. The certificate stated, "at the same time Kate the mother of the said Issabel the only parent known of the said child upon private examination before us declared her consent to the removal of her said child to the place and state aforesaid."
