Jean Lowry Rankin
Jean Lowry Rankin (1795–1877)〔http://treeleaves1.wordpress.com/category/rankin-family/〕 was an American abolitionist and pioneer in the anti-slavery movement. With her husband John Rankin 〔http://www.aaregistry.org/historic_events/view/john-rankin-committed-abolitionist〕 she assisted 2000 slaves in their journey to freedom along the Underground Railroad. The Rankin family home on the Ohio River in Ripley, Ohio is now the John Rankin House State Memorial, owned by the Ohio Historical Society.〔http://ohsweb.ohiohistory.org/places/sw14/index.shtml〕
An incident in which an escaped slave fled with her infant child across the frozen Ohio River and took refuge in the home of John and Jean Lowry Rankin was the inspiration for the fictional character of Eliza 〔http://cincinnati.com/blogs/ourhistory/2011/06/10/harriet-beecher-stowe-learned-evils-of-slavery-here-firsthand/〕 in the classic anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin 〔http://www.uncletomscabin.org/〕 by Harriet Beecher Stowe〔http://www.harrietbeecherstowecenter.org/.〕
