My name is Linda Wood Davenport. I am the ggggrandaughter of Malinda Robinson Paris. She had two experiences with the underground railroad. First, when she was about five or six years of age her mother, a free woman married to a slave, took Malinda and her eight sisters and brothers in the dead of night from their home in Paris, Kentucky, to prevent their being kidnapped into slavery. The family settled in Vigo County, Indiana.
Then at 18 Malinda married a free man, William Paris, who had been kidnapped and taken into slavery three times. Threatened with slavery again after their marriage, he fled north to Canada where Malinda joined him.
