Friday, son of Dinah, was born on May 29, 1767. His date of birth was recorded in the diary of the Rev. Oliver Hart, who purchased the boy and his mother four years later in Charleston, South Carolina. The name of Friday's enslaver at the time of his birth is uncertain. It can be inferred that he was probably born in South Carolina, but his exact place of birth was not recorded in Hart's diary.
