Subject: [INOWEN] underground railroad
I recently came across a reference alledging that Andrew Jackson and Frances
(Beem) Newsom of Spencer were active in the Underground Railroad.
Am aware of the 'stop' in Martinsville (Morgan Co) but have been unable to
find any references in Owen Co history to support the Newsom's involvement.
The time period would be correct.
Does anyone know of any Underground Railroad activity in Owen or Green
counties? Thanks.
