Biographical Description
John Still was a man of African descent who was enslaved by Asher Still in the early 19th century. He had a daughter named Margaret, born in 1807, with a woman named Jane. Jane and Margaret were enslaved by James Edgar of Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey. Since John and Jane were enslaved by different men, they likely lived apart in separate households. John Still's place of residence is uncertain from the records, but it is likely that he also resided in or around Woodbridge where his daughter was born.
