THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 2016 S e n t i n e l gmnews.com North Brunswick • South Brunswick Deed validates local presence of slavery

By JENNIFER AMATO Staff Writer orth Brunswick has received defini­ tive proof that slavery once existed Nin the township. John Buckelew, whose house sits upon the Pulda Farm off of Route 130 north, was one of the earliest founders and settlers of the farm and deeded his sons to care for a slave throughout their lives. Director of Community Development Michael Hritz, who is also part of the North Brunswick Historical Society, read infor­ mation from a recent report that identified, through deed research, the presence of slaves in town more than 220 years ago. Hritz also said during the June 6 council workshop meeting that the house itself dates to 1746. while the federal portion dates to 1786. “For the first time, this gives us an esti­ mate of the earliest structure of the house,” Hritz said. “To my knowledge, we never had any other definitive proof we had slaves in North Brunswick.” STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER ERIC SUCAR Hritz said the Historical Society worked Water lovers float along the lazy river at Crystal Springs Family Water Park, East Brunswick. for more than eight months on the project.
