Description
-
Two young women, described as "mulatto" escaped from a farmer by the name of Lodge. The Lodge family was closely associated with the Piatt and Ryle families, so the women may have come from these slaveholders . The escape may have been facilitated by UGRR station master Samuel Barkshire (a free man of color) in the Rising Sun circa 1850s escape.
