A friend just sent me a fascinating book, History of the Underground RR in Chester and Neighboring Counties..... This is a republication of the book by R. C. Smedley, written in 1883. The book is a record of the first hand experiences of those who actually participated in the operation of the RR. There were specific routes of the RR and those responsible for running the northward and eastward routes were Daniel Gibbons, Thomas Peart, Thomas Whitson, Lindley Coates, Dr. Eagle man, James Moore, Caleb C. Hood, of Lancaster Co.: James Fulton, Gideon Pierce, Joseph Haines, Thomas Bonsall, Gravner Marsh, Zebulon Thomas, Thomas Vickers, John Vickers, Micajah and Wm A. Speakman, Esther Lewis and daughters, Dr Edwin Fussell, William Fussell, Norris Maris, Emmor Kimber, and Elijah f. Pennypacker. The book has an index of names and if you suspect that an ancestor might have been involved I'll be glad to see if the name is mentioned, keeping in mind that the RR was run pretty exclusively by Quakers and free blacks.
