- Biographical Description
-
Betty was a Black woman who lived in Stillwater, Sussex County, NJ, in the early 19th century. She was enslaved by Abraham Shaver (or Shafer), the proprietor of the Shafer Grist Mill. Betty's husband, named Nun, was also enslaved by Abraham Shaver.
Abraham Shaver died in 1820, and it appears that Betty later served Abraham's son Nathan Armstrong Shafer as inferred from a birth certificate for Betty's daughter Harriet that Nathan signed in 1824. - Keywords
