John Dunjee
John William Dunjee (also John Dungy or John Dungee) (1833 – 1903) was an American missionary, educator, Baptist minister, and founder of Baptist churches across the United States. ==Early life and education== John William Dungy was born a slave in New Kent County/Charles City County, Virginia, in 1833 to the Ferrell family. His family asserted that President John Tyler was his father and Dungy's mother was a slave.〔(Forever Free: Abraham Lincoln's Journey to Emancipation ) at library.buffalo.edu/exhibits/ForeverFree/index.htm〕 John William's absentee owners, the Ferrell family heirs, hired him out to former Virginia governor John Munford Gregory, and while working for Gregory in the winter of 1859, Dungy learned that the Ferrells were going to take him to Alabama shortly.〔Still, "Still's Underground Rail Road Records", p. 543.〕 He then decided to make his escape to freedom in Canada through the Underground railroad with the help of William Still and others, landing in the port of Philadelphia in February. He arrived in Hamilton, Canada, on the 15th of that month〔Still, "Still's Underground Rail Road Records", p. 542.〕 and returned to the United States at the conclusion of the Civil War. From 1866 to 1868 John Dungy studied at Bates College (also known as the Maine State Seminary) in Lewiston, Maine, where he lived and studied with several other former slaves. Dungy then studied at Oberlin College in Ohio, where he changed his name to "Dunjee."
