- Biographical Description
-
Gabriel was born in 1804, the child of a woman enslaved by Isaac Cotheal of Bonhamtown, Woodbridge Township, NJ. Under the provisions of New Jersey's Gradual Abolition Act of 1804, he was considered a slave for a term of 25 years and would become eligible for emancipation upon reaching that age.
The names of Gabriel's parents were not recorded on this birth certificate. It is possible that Ann, the mother of two other children in Isaac Cotheal's household, was also the mother of Gabriel. - Keywords
