An Escape from Slavery and a President’s Ancestors
Charles Holman grew up on bedtime stories of ancestors who escaped slavery via the Underground Railroad. But those stories were riddled with gaps. Decades later, DNA testing yielded a match with a descendant of his ancestor’s sister, a widow whose husband had served as a Black Civil War soldier. Her widow’s pension records revealed an even greater breakthrough—the names of the Kentuckians who had enslaved Charles’s ancestors. Determined to uncover more, Charles dug through records at the Filson Historical Society where an even greater breakthrough lay hidden.
Charles Holman is an East Coast civil rights attorney and a genealogist with over 50 years of experience.
