Thomas Garrett
Thomas Garrett (August 21, 1789January 25, 1871) was an American abolitionist and leader in the Underground Railroad movement before the American Civil War. 〔African American Registry http://aaregistry.org/historic_events/view/thomas-garrett-dedicated-abolitionist. Accessed May 10, 2015〕
==Early life and education==
Garrett was born into a prosperous landowning Quaker family on their homestead called "Thornfield" in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The house in which he lived until 1822, which was built around 1800, still stands today in what is now Drexel Hill in Upper Darby Township.
In a family already inclined to abolitionism, Thomas was exceptionally dedicated. When a family servant was kidnapped by men who planned to sell her as a slave in the South, he tracked them down and released her.
