Biography

In June of 1854, nine freedom seekers from the Crisler, Walton, Scott and Blankenbeker farms escaped, but were caught on free soil, in Cincinnati. Like many such cases occurring after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, much legal attention paid to them, with the focus of the case resting on habeas corpus. They were returned to their respective slave holders at the close of the case. Susan was the wife of Shadrach and the mother of Wesley and John.
