Description
-
Two young women, described as "mulatto" escaped from a farmer by the name of Lodge in 1852. The Lodge family was closely associated with the Piatt and Ryle families, so the women may have come from those slaveholders. The escape may have been facilitated by Samuel Barkshire in Rising Sun.
