Numbers and percentage of slaves in 1790
I'm glad someone has started this article. It is really needed. When I looked at the article on NJ history, I thought material on slavery and African Americans was lacking, as well as a general sense of immigration and population movement. It would be useful to provide context for the number of slaves in 1790 - what proportion of the population was enslaved? Where were they concentrated? It's my understanding (don't have a source right now) that most of the slaves were in south Jersey, in the chief agricultural areas. That would make sense. --Parkwells (talk) 15:44, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

1881 history
In terms of sources, the 1881 county history would likely not be considered as reliable as later works by peer-reviewed historians.--Parkwells (talk) 18:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Clear Contradiction
There is a clear contradiction in this article; the date of abolition. It is widely accepted that New Jersey did not legally abolish slavery until 1866, with ratification of the 13th Amendment. While slave numbers had dwindled extensively (down, at last count in 1850, to a mere 226) they still, in fact and in a legal sense, existed in New Jersey until ratification. 24.88.79.249 (talk) 06:39, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Birth Certificates of Children of Slaves in Burlington County
This reference shows "birth certificate" records for 15 children of slaves born in Burlington County after enactment of the 1804 law dictating freedom of such children following servitude until the age of 21 (females) or 25 (males). The Wiki article might benefit from inclusion of one of these "birth certificates" as an example.
