In reply to NANCY SWANWICK. I guess we're related since John Brown was my great grandfathers cousin. All from Deacon Samuel Chapin in Springfield MA. John Brown went back to Springfield at the Chapin house to meet with Fredrick Douglas while planning the raid on Harper's Ferry. Fredrick Douglas wrote that John Brown was the first martyr of the Civil War. Many believe that the Carrington Event of 1859 was the sign from God Brown told Douglas he was looking for.

In reply to Cindy. No, but you might be able to Google it. That would be an interesting rumor to confirm.

In reply to NANCY SWANWICK. Do you have a family tree for John Brown? There was a family myth that he was related on my father’s side. It would interesting to know if true or not.

In reply to NANCY SWANWICK. It was a different time and the passion that people used to pursue their beliefs was often uncontested. History is a lesson for all to see.

When I discovered John Brown was my 4th cousin, 6 times removed, it became important to me to know more about him. The snapshot of information that is generally known is not nearly all there is to say about him. I live in Fort Scott, Kansas, and have visited the cabin in Osawatomie and also Harper’s Ferry. John Brown certainly was doing the right thing using the wrong methods. For people to write him off as merely a zealot shows a lack of knowledge.
