Pamela sent this. Unfortunately, I cannot find the message regarding the original query. However, many of you might be interested in the site. In addition, there are many books about the Underground Railroad. There are not many names known of those who took part in the transportation of the runaway slaves. Mostly, it was kept a secret as even after the end of the Civil War, many people were persecuted because of their "sympathy" towards the Blacks. Levi Coffin and Eli Lundy were very well known. Others did not take such a chance but helped anyway. Bette **************************************************************************** Someone asked you of any involvement of Bunkers in the Underground Railroad. You thought I might know. I hope you still have that query. There are numerous references to the Underground Railroad in the "Historic Nantucket" quarterlies which I will eventually look for although don't think they mention Bunkers by name. At this site which I found fascinating http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=moa;idno=ABT8668 was the memoirs of Levi Coffin known as the "president" of the underground railroad. His family, who were Quakers, was from Nantucket and rem. to New Garden, SC in 1773. His grandmother was Ann Bunker dau. of William Bunker (a founder, or perhaps I should say half-share man, of Nantucket) and Ann Macy. I've been reading Coffin's memoirs on-line and they are fascinating. He moved between New Garden (many Nantucketers removed there during a time of Nantucket deprevations) and Indiana sending slaves on to Canada. He was an abolishinist by nature at a very young age. The part about the underground railroad really gets going about page 110 or 111. He and his wife are actually the ones who rescued the Eliza on the ice made famous in Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.
