FOOTNOTES: 

[1] The Washington Union, April 14, 1848.

[2] Daniel Drayton was a native of New Jersey who had spent several years
     following the water.  He had risen from cook to captain in the
     wood-carrying business from the Maurice River to Philadelphia. 
     Eventually he engaged in coast traffic from Philadelphia southward. 
     He seemed to have drifted quite naturally from strong humane
     impulses, intensified by an old-time spiritual conversion, into a
     settled conviction that the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of
     man was a reality and that it was his duty to do what he could to
     assist those in bondage.

Latterly his voyages had carried him into the Chesapeake Bay and thence up the Potomac.  His first successful effort to assist the slaves was made on an earlier trip when he agreed to take away a woman and five children.  The husband was already a free man.  The woman had under an agreement with her master more than paid for her liberty, but when she had asked for a settlement, he had only answered by threatening to sell her.  The mother and five children were taken aboard at night and after ten days were safely delivered at Frenchtown, where the husband was in waiting for them.  Memoir of Daniel Drayton, Congressional Library.

[3] The only punishment meted out to Judson Diggs for his act of betrayal,
     so far as is known, was that by a party of young men who, shortly
     after the occurrence, took him from his cart and after considerable
     rough handling, threw him into the little stream that in those days
     and indeed for many years thereafter, took its way along the north
     side of the old John Wesley Church, then located at a spot directly
     opposite the north corner of the Convent of the Sacred Heart on
     Connecticut Avenue, between L and M Streets.

     A number of old citizens now living distinctly remember Judson Diggs,
     who lived, despised and avoided, until late in the sixties.  One of
     these is Mr. Jerome A. Johnson of the Treasury Department.

[5] The case against Drayton and Sayres was prosecuted by Philip Barton
     Key, the District Attorney, before Judge Crawford, and on appeal the
     prisoners were sentenced to pay a fine of $10,000 and to remain in
     jail until the same should be paid.
