"REDEMPTIONERS"
IN
NEW JERSEY
The great dissatisfaction existing among the lowly and not infrequently in the middle and higher classes throughout Great Britain, especially where the moral senti- ment was opposed to the licentiousness of the day and where many were the subjects of religious oppression, turned the thoughts and steps of many towards the New World, where, from kinsmen and friends, glowing accounts had been written home of the equality of man, his religious freedom and his landed betterment.
How to reach this Mecca was a problem difficult of solution. Shortly a way arose and there was a strange intermingling of the poor and the rich in the emigration. With the development of this country, laborers, of all kinds, were needed and the distressed at home, without funds, sold their services for a term of years, at the end of which, they redeemed themselves by reason of their labor and were discharged, with a modest equipment, from their late employers.
The speculative sea captain, the extensive landholder and merchant, alike, saw the chance for gain and imported this element, indenting each individual in written or printed contracts, of which today a number exist, and which they transferred or "sold" as opportunity arose. The majority of the emigrants were laborers, others came qualified with a knowledge of trades, glaziers, carpenters, blacksmiths, bricklayers, painters, joyners, etc., etc., and the whole were spoken of as "servants."

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
In addition to the laboring element there were many who did not scruple, though of gentle birth and refinement, to hire themselves out for domestic purposes. Often one who was reasonably prosperous in the Old World, and whose estates had been con- fiscated, was left with so little that it barely sufficed to "import himself," while his wife and children would come in the same ship as "indented servants." The Redemptioner frequently rose with such rapidity that he was able to purchase the unexpired con- tracts of the various members of his family and assemble them about him in his own home. Not infrequently the master married his "servant," or the "servant" would marry his mistress.
Hardship was the inevitable lot of all the early settlers and the Redemptioner either suffered or enjoyed according to the worldly prosperity and the gentleness of his employer. There were hard taskmasters, but the slavery was not akin to that of the negro in our South, for the populated portion of the country was small and kindred were not divorced from each other and the term of servitude was often short.
The Redemptioner frequently filled official positions under the government and was conspicuous in organized church work. His social distinction regulated itself promptly, and he likely assumed in this community the same position that he held in his former home. Today, the blood of the Redemptioner is mingled with every good strain that crossed to the New Jersey shore and his descendants can look with pride to his ambition, courage and moral force.
After the first great exodus, 1682-1685, made up entirely of Scotch Protestants, there was apparently some diminution in the numbers which came to this country, and little by little the character of the individual changed, so that in the first quarter of the 16th century, the Redemptioner was an ordinary case of "contract labor," fired by no lofty religious enthusiasm and probably of no social cast. At what time this type of importation ceased I have not ascertained.
The recording of "indentured persons" protected all concerned from infractions of the contract. It was not conceived, however, for this reason, but for the object of securing from the Proprietors such lands as were allotted under the Laws of Concessions, to each settler, male and female, master or servant. Thus it is that the following lists include both.
