Bio
I am a USAF Veteran who has been doing historical research in the areas of Burlington, Proctorville and Ironton, Ohio for nearly 30 years. For the past 15 years my primary focus has been the Underground Railroad in the previously mentioned areas.
I have provided research for the PBS series Finding Your Roots (John Legend segment) and in 2011 helped close the longest active Fugitive Slave/ Freedom Trial in US history. It resulted in the Polley family (John Legends ancestors) receiving a retroactive ruling of freedom. The case had been open 162 years.
