My name is Catharine Rhodes and I am a minister studying the accurate history of chattel slavery and attempting to trace these genealogies especially within the Niagara Region. I’m searching Burr Plato, Harriet Tubman, and others, trying to find as many records as possible for them as well as for families like the Cadhams, who helped them.
