Mary Meachum
Mary Meachum (1801–1869) was an African-American abolitionist who, with her husband John Berry Meachum, helped enslaved people escape to freedom in the Underground Railroad, and by purchasing their freedom. The Mary Meachum Freedom Crossing in St. Louis, the first site in Missouri to be accepted in the National Park Service's National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom, was named after her.
==Early life and marriage==
Meachum was born into slavery in Kentucky. While still enslaved, she married John Berry Meachum, who had already purchased his own freedom with money he had earned as a carpenter. In 1815, Mary Meachum's owner took her to St. Louis, Missouri. Her husband followed, and was able to purchase her freedom shortly afterwards. The Meachums ran a school for free and enslaved black people in the First African Baptist Church, which they later moved to a floating steamboat on the Mississippi River when the state of Missouri banned education for blacks in 1847. They also used the proceeds from John Berry Meachum's carpentry and barrel-making business to purchase freedom for twenty enslaved individuals.
Mary Meachum's profession was listed as 'milkmaid' in 1835.〔(Lea Vandervelde, Redemption Songs: Suing for Freedom Before Dred Scott ), Oxford University Press, 2014, ISBN 0199927294〕
