Event Description
Juday was manumitted by James Morgan of South Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The certificate of manumission was signed by the Overseers of the Poor of South Amboy (William Toan and John Perrine) and Justices of the Peace for Middlesex County (David Hall and William Toan, who was also the Overseer) on April 30, 1813. The document stated that Juday 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. Juday's exact age was not recorded in the document. This document was recorded by the Middlesex County Clerk (William P. Deare) on October 20, 1815.
