Now, Lunsford had no intention of sending this money by mail, and trusting to some good fortune about the return, as an equivalent, his wife and seven chil- dren. He determined to see them himself, and safely transfer them to the land of freedom, and obtain as le- gal a transfer of their freedom into his hands as the law would permit. This he accomplished, but not with- out great trial and the hazard of his life. One other gentleman, of a very different character, remains to be more fully notic...ed. Among the citizens in town who felt great indignation at the treatment of Lunsford, and the outrageous conduct of the mob, was the Rev. Dr. Heath. He frequently conferred with Lunsford, at this and at other times. As he moved about his parish, and became more and more acquainted with its concealed iniquities, with the private life of the slave upon the plantation, the greater became his abhorrence of the system. His hints, which were sometimes not the mildest, to his slave-holding flock, at length bred dissatisfaction, and though they dared not make this a ground for his dismissal, they did not hesitate to indicate their dissat- isfaction in various ways.
