Moses Williams (1776-1830), his Family & Gradual Emancipation with Dr. Ellen Fernandez-Sacco
Moses Williams (1776-1830), his Family & Gradual Emancipation
Moses Williams (1776-1830) was the first Black museum professional. Both he and his family went through various states of unfreedom, structured by the Gradual Emancipation Act of 1780. My recent article reconstructs three generations of his family's genealogy and takes a closer look at how the indentures authorized by the 1780 Act affected the family.
Dr. Ellen Fernandez-Sacco is a genealogist and independent scholar who writes on the transition from enslavement to emancipation during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Puerto Rico and the US. With this article she focuses on reconstructing a genealogy and family history for Moses Williams of Philadelphia, the first Black museum professional.
