Hi Art and Others,

When I went I looked through Boxes 91,100,108,112,110,113,114,115,116. These boxes included documents for OH counties, MI and some other reference materials that seemed likely to contain information about my Soloman, John and David Day.

In Box 100 the references to Logan included activities at Pickrell Station including those of Obidiah A. Williams and Thomas Stanton. There was also a station at Northwood operated by J.M. Forsyth (I would love to know where Northwood is)

Box 110 talks of the Stark County colored settlement "Africa" or Deer Creek meeting house. (This is interesting because I am starting to find out about a colored settlement in Lexington Twp. Stark co., OH called "New Guinea". My David Day sold land for a meeting house to the church called Christ's Disciples. I wonder if this "Africa"/Deer Creek meeting house community and "New Guinea" are one and the same.

Box 116:
-Lists Logan county Asa Williams and David Hunt as Quaker farmers who handled traffic.
-Lists "Pickrelltown as a route center whose colored element was adept in hiding runaways."
-Lists The Quaker settlement in the Harmon + Hudley valley 5mi East of Bellefontaine
-Lists routes of Champaign Co. that include Peter Bird "a well off colored man" ( I believe this Peter Bird or his relatives may migrated later to Cass co., MI.)

Box 112:
lists Logan co. stations at the residences of Mahlon Pickrell, Asa Williams and Silas Williams(Correction: Soloman Day bought land from Asa Brown not Asa Williams as I previously indicated)

Box 113: E. Delorus P{reston Jr. "The Underground Railroad in Northwest OH Vol." XIII

-lists Ben Stanton and his son Mahlon stanton as principal conductor in Logan.

-Preston states he found additional operators by intensly studying Siebert's "UGRR 1895" manuscript material. Preston's work has a list of AA UGRR operators including my Soloman and John Day.

I will probably have to revisit these boxes to see if I just might have overlooked something. Of course this will have to be after the colleciton is digitized.

Art, does the inventory you have of Siebert's work detail exactly what is contained in each box? In other words does it count the number of separate items in each box?
