Ann Carroll Fitzhugh : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ann Carroll Fitzhugh Ann Carroll Fitzhugh (1805–1875)〔Syracuse University, Smith Family (Tree )〕 was an American abolitionist, mother of Elizabeth Smith Miller, and the spouse to Gerrit Smith. Her older brother was Henry Fitzhugh. Ann Fitzhugh and Gerrit Smith’s Peterboro, New York home was a station on the Underground Railroad. Known as “Nancy,"〔The Works of James McClune Smith (John Stauffer, ed.)(2006) at (297 ).〕 Ann Fitzhugh Smith frequently traveled via an enclosed carriage to permit her carriage to be used, in her absence, to convey veiled fugitives on their way to Canada.〔U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, (Elizabeth Smith Miller ) (Apr. 15, 2011).〕 In 1822, Fitzhugh – living in Rochester, New York and formerly of Hagerstown, Maryland – married Gerrit Smith. Ann was devout and was influential in Gerrit Smith’s religious conversion and beliefs about social reform and slavery. ==Abolitionist== The Smith household hosted both abolitionist and early suffrage meetings in the pre-Civil War period. As a child in Chewsville, near Hagerstown, Maryland, Ann Carroll Fitzhugh was given a slave, Harriet Sims, who was sold and was further enslaved in Kentucky, with her spouse Samuel Russell. Ann and Gerrit located the Russells, purchased their freedom in 1841 and aided them in settling at Peterboro.〔Gerrit Smith Estate, National Historic Landmark Nomination, NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registriation Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-(0018 ).〕 The Smith couple had joined the abolition movement fully in October 1835, after a meeting of the New York State Anti-Slavery Society in Utica, New York was forcibly broken up by local slaving sympathizers. Ann and Gerrit interceded from the audience, and offered the Peterboro mansion as a safe haven to reconvene the gathering.〔Judith Wellman, The road to Seneca Falls: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the First Women’s Rights Convention (2004) at (38 ).〕 While Ann’s daughter Elizabeth attended a Quaker school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Ann stayed in the city for extended periods during 1836, 1837 and 1839. These stays brought Ann into the circle of Lucretia and James Mott, abolitionists C.C. Burleigh and Mary Grew. Ann and her daughter taught Sunday school in one of Philadelphia’s African-American communities.〔Judith Wellman, The road to Seneca Falls: Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the First Women’s Rights Convention (2004) at (38 ).〕
