I have just finishing reading "A Narrative of Events of the Life of J. H. Banks, an Escaped Slave......" written for him by J. W. C. Pennington, the first black man (slave) to attend Yale Divinity School in 1834. Banks was born in 1833 to Mary Frances and Novel both slaves of Charles L. Yancey in Rockingham Co., VA. He was sold to a man in Alabama to help Mr. Yancey raise money to pay his debts. I want to know more about Mr. Banks, did he marry, get an education, have children, have some semblance of contentment after fleeing to England in 1861..... but Google isn't being much help? If you learned souls will give me some input for resources I would greatly appreciate your help. M.
