Removal certificate for Salley (1818-06-01) recorded in Manumissions and Removals Book, p. 240. Middlesex County (N.J.) Records, 1688-1929, Vol. XI (MC 784.1). Special Collections and University Archives, Rutgers University Libraries.
Event Description
On June 1, 1818, enslaver Daniel Perrine brought Salley, an enslaved woman aged 25, before the Court of Common Pleas of Middlesex County to obtain a removal certificate authorizing Salley's removal from Middlesex County, New Jersey, to Virginia. The certificate was signed by two judges (Thomas Hance and John Outcalt). The removal certificate stated that Daniel Perrine was planning to sell Salley to a man named Peter Tiernan, and that Salley was examined by the judges and consented to move with Peter Tiernan to Virginia. It appears that Tiernan did not appear in court, but he was mentioned in the document. The certificate was recorded by the County Clerk (William P. Deare) on the same day, June 1, 1818.

The record only mentions the state of Virginia and does not list a more specific destination for Salley and Peter Tiernan.
