- Biographical Description
- This Black woman was born circa 1773. She was enslaved by Mrs. Penea of Mill Hill at Trenton, NJ. She ran away from Penea in 1802, prompting the enslaver to publish a runaway ad. The woman's name was not mentioned in the runaway ad, and she was described as a "French Negro Woman." This suggests that she likely came from the French West Indies and had been brought up in a French-speaking family.
