Amos Gilbert - Fugitive Slave from Maryland - Married and Died in St John

Classification: Query
Surnames: Gilbert
Looking for information on my Gr gr greandafther's brother, Reuben, who escaped from slavery in Maryland in the 1848 timeframe. He chanegd his name to Amos Gilbert and eventually wound up in Nova Scotia and then moved to St John, NB where he "married and settled in business" per the account left by my gr gr grandfather. Amos died at Fredickton of cholera.

He left a widow and two children (girls) one was married to a fur dealer in Halifax and the other to a book keeper at the United States Shirt and Collar Company, Troy, NY.

Does anyone have suggestions on how I should go about looking for information on him? I do not know when he died, but it must have been after 1849.

Please help - and guidance is appreciated - and thank you!
