George Latimer (escaped slave)
George Latimer (July 4, 1819 – May 29, 1896〔 〕) was an escaped slave whose case became a major political issue in Massachusetts.
==Early life==
George W. Latimer was born in Norfolk, Virginia. His father, Mitchell Latimer, was a white man and his mother, Margaret Olmsted, a slave belonging to his uncle Edward A. Latimer.〔Davis, Asa J. ("The George Latimer Case: A Benchmark in the Struggle for Freedom" ), 1980.〕 In the early part of his life he was owned by a man named Edward Mallery, for whom he worked as a domestic servant until the age of sixteen. After that time, his labor was hired out and he primarily worked driving a dray and as a shopkeeper. On two separate occasions he spent time in prison as a result of the debts of his master. He was eventually sold to James B. Gray.〔Rodriguez, Junius P. ''Encyclopedia of Slave Resistance and Rebellion, Volume 1''. Westport: Greenwood Press, 2007.〕 Gray was a shop owner whose store Latimer manned.〔 He abused Latimer and it is thought that this abuse precipitated Latimer's flight to Boston.〔
