Notes for JOHN
DEHART:
From: Susan S. Buckley <spice3@juno.com>;
Subject: NJ, DeHART, Cornelius, 1874-'76; Date: 7 Jul 1998 08:11:56 -0700;
From "Somerset County (NJ) Historical
Quarterly", vol. V, 1916.; Edited
by A. Van Doren Honeyman. The following is copied from >an article in a
series entitled Franklin Township Historical Notes by the Late Judge Ralph
Voorhees, in 1874-76. "The early settlers, in clearing the forests,
were much assisted by their slaves. In some families they were numerous, The
success of the farmers depended upon the rapid clearing of the forests, in which
they rendered important assistance. One of the Vliet families, it was said,
owned 17 slaves, composed of different ages and sexes. Cornelius DeHart, the
first settler, purchased from a slave vessel a negro girl, named Phillis, who
had been kidnapped, and was a daughter of one of the Kings of Africa. She
related that on the voyage to America she was often terribly frightened by some
of the crew attempting to feel of her hands, she supposing that it was done for
the purpose of ascertaining whether she was in good condition for slaughtering,
and her body to be eaten, as the neighboring tribes of cannibals did in Africa,
to avoid which she fasted to cause leanness, so as to disappoint them in their
expectations, and thereby preserve her life. She was a faithful servant in the
family, but had a great desire that a time might come when she would be able to
say that she, the King's daughter, was free. Her desire, in the course of time,
was granted. Another of her desires was that before she died she might also see
her youngest son, Thomas, free, which she was also permitted to see. In her old
age Abraham DeHart built a house for her on his land, in which she enjoyed the
freedom so earnestly coveted, and in which she lived and died. Her son Thomas,
who was also freed, lived there with her until she died. Her remains lie buried
with those of several of her children, in a colored burying-ground on the south
bank of the Six-Mile Run brook, with others of the Vliet, Van Cleef and DeHart
colored families. It is located about 200 yards east of the residence of Ralph
Voorhees, Jr."

It is unclear if the 1920 census is for
this John De Hart he had been enumerated as black, but it appears that both he

parents are reported as born. The other John De Hart's mother is born in MA.
