Slave Life in Georgia 124 ALEXANDER RIDGWAY, Notary Public. Page 241 JOHN BROWN'S TESTIMONIALS. WE the undersigned do certify our knowledge of John Brown, who was a Slave in America, in the state of Georgia, and was four times sold. He came to Lake Superior, for refuge, in 1847, and was employed by our Company. He was employed by our Company for one year and a half; during that time we found him quiet, honest, and industrious. His object in coming to England was to see Captain Joseph Teague, by whom he was promised support. Unfortunately the Captain died in America, and J. Brown not knowing of his death till he came to Redruth, Cornwall, by that means he is thrown out in a strange country for a little support. We have helped him all that lay in our power, and would heartily do more for him if we could. We have heard him several times lecture on Slavery and also on Teetotalism. We hope the object he seeks will induce the sympathy of English Christians. Dated, Redruth, February 26th, 1851. JAMES VIVIAN, Redruth. RICHARD PASCOE, Redruth. THOMAS WILLIAMS, Redruth. THOMAS CHAMPION, Redruth. St. Austell, March 20th, 1851. I beg to testify to my firm conviction of the forestated case of John Brown. When he called on me in the first instance, there happened to be a relative of the said Captain Teague present, who, after very considerable conversation, expressed his full conviction of his, J. B. having been engaged under Page 242 his relative, Captain Teague. I believe John Brown is entitled to sympathy and assistance from common humanity, especially from Christians. 24.03.2006
Slave Life in Georgia 125 SAMUEL BARLOW. Bodmin, March 25th, 1851. The bearer, John Brown, has been in this town a few days, and lectured in the Union Hall to a large assemblage of persons, to whom he delivered a narrative of his life during the time that he was a slave in the State of Georgia. I privately questioned him previous to this, as to the treatment received by slaves from their masters, the route he pursued at the time of his escape, c.; and having resided in those parts for several years, I have a firm conviction in my own mind as to the truth of his statements and the sincerity of his objects. CHARLES PEARSE, House Surveyor. Liskeard, 3d Month, 31st, 1851. Having conversed with John Brown, a coloured man, now here, but who was formerly a slave in the United States, I have reason to be satisfied, from the accounts which he gives of persons and places that are known to me in that country, that he is not an impostor; and judging from his conduct while here, I am disposed to encourage him to spread the knowledge of the cruelties of Slavery, and recommend him to the kind notice of the public, trusting that he will continue to conduct himself well. JOHN ALLEN. Plymouth, April 12th, 1851. The undersigned are desirous of recommending John Brown to the notice of philanthropists in other parts of England which he may visit. Page 243 From an examination of his testimonials, as well as from their own observation, they are fully satisfied of his veracity, and consider the object he has in view worthy of the support and encouragement of all friends of the Negro race. J. B. has addressed a crowded meeting at the Guildhall, and his simple narrative of his sufferings in his escape from Slavery was listened to with great interest and attention. 24.03.2006
