Dear Nevilles; I am searching for information on a Indian woman named Dinah Nevil. She and her four children were sold in 1773 by Nathaniel Lowry of New Jersey to Benjamin Bannarman of Virginia. When she and her new owner stopped in Philadelphia, she protested publically that she and her children were "free people." A group of Quakers took up her cause and spent two years in court working to free her. In 1775 the court declared that she and her children were slaves. In 1781 a Quaker named Thomas Harrison purchased the family and set them free. Her case prompted the establishment of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society. I would appreciate any information anyone might have on this woman or her children. Thanks for your help. P. L. Scholley
