Fifteen enslaved people, led by Anthony Bingey, made arrangements to escape from General Taylor’s house in Newport. Included in the group was Bingey, his father, his father’s wife, their three children, Horace Hawkins and his sister, and Washington Burgess. James Williams, FPOC in Cincinnati, was the conductor. The freedom seekers had obtained a pass from Taylor to go to a “camp meeting up the Ohio."
