• “Dangerfield Newby was born a slave in Fauquier county, Va., in the year 1825. His father was a Scotchman, . . .. Gabriel Newby, of Bridgeport, Ohio, a brother of the subject of this sketch, writes me under date of March 26, 1899, that his brother, Dangerfield, was married to a slave and was the father of six children. His wife was owned by Jesse. Jennings, of Warrenton, Va., and Dangerfield was desirous of buying her. . . While a slave he worked at blacksmithing and ran on the canal between Waterloo and Fredericksburg. He was a quiet man, upright, quick-tempered and devoted to his family. He never talked much about slavery and kept his intention of joining John Brown, whom he had met in Oberlin [Ohio], to himself. . . .”

family of mulatto children to Ohio and freed them,” granted Elsey permission to move to Ohio. (Featherstonhaugh, “John Brown's Men.”)

Dangerfield Newby’s Family: the Problem
• Harriet Newby’s three letters to Danger-field, April 11-August 16, 1859– “Com this fall with out fail monny or no monney.”– “Dear Husband . . . I want you to buy me as soon as
possible for if you do not get me, somebody else will.”– “do all you Can for me witch I have no doubt you will.”– If I’m sold, “all my bright hops of the futer are blasted.”

More on Ohio
John Brown contacts in Ohio—e.g., “Scholar Ian Barford has found evidence, which he shared with this group, that Newby was in Ashtabula when he was recruited by Brown, not in Bridgeport, in southeastern Ohio. From handwritten notes in the carpetbag letters found at the Kennedy Farm and used as evidence in the trials of John Brown and the surviving raiders, both Dangerfield and "G“ (his brother Gabriel) were part of the Underground Railroad and that is how they found out about the Ashtabula center of abolition activity. They went there to join the plan, and Gabriel may have been on his way to Virginia on August 27, 1859.” http://www.afrolumens.org/ugrr/decaro02.htm

Dangerfield Newby attempted to buy his wife and . . .
• What could Dangerfield do?– Dangerfield “was a quiet man,
upright, quick-tempered and devoted to his family. He never talked much about slavery and kept his intention of joining John Brown, whom he had met in Oberlin, to himself.” Featherstonhaugh, 294.

• Dangerfield Newby “was the son of a Scotchman, and was born and raised not far* from the Ferry. His father took the mother and children to Ohio and liberated them. Newby seemed a good-natured, sensible old man. He had a wife and several children that were slaves, and he was impatient to have operations commenced, for he was anxious to get them.”

Dangerfield Newby’s death
• “On the retreat of the troops, we were ordered back to our former post. While going, Dangerfield Newby, one of our colored men, was shot through the head by a person who took aim at him from a brick store window, on the opposite side of the street, and who was there for the purpose of firing upon us. Newby was a brave fellow. He was one of my comrades at the Arsenal. He fell at my side, and his death was promptly avenged by Shields Green, the Zouave of the band, who afterwards met his fate calmly on the gallows, with John Copeland. Newby was shot twice; at the first fire, he fell on his side and returned it; as he lay, a second shot was fired, and the ball entered his head. Green raised his rifle in an instant, and brought down the cowardly murderer, before the latter could get his gun back through the sash.”– Osborne Perry Anderson, A Voice from Harper's Ferry: A Narrative of
Events at Harper’s Ferry (Boston, 1861), 40.

The Robinson family, 1880
By the 1880s, William Robinson was, among African Americans, a substantial landowner in Fairfax County. Robinson later worked for
Mount Vernon. Harriet died in the early 1880s.
William Robinson was born in Shepherdstown, Va.--about 12 miles north of Harpers Ferry--before West Va. was created.
“Farm Laborer”? He labored on his own land.

Problem?• Note that the Harriet Newby entry in both
the 1870 and 1880 Censuses stated that Harriet could not read or write. If so, how could she have written the 1859 letters?

WHY?
• Why study Dangerfield Newby and his families?– The costs of slavery
• The difficulty of escape
– The strength of family
