Frederick Olney (1810-1869) was a prominent free Black throughout the Antebellum area, in both Windham and New London counties. He was a brother-in-law to Sarah Harris Fayerweather, attended various Abolitionist and Black convention meetings, and worked as a teacher. He was clearly a favorite with the students of the Canterbury Female Academy. But we have no picture of him. I imagine him as a tall, well-built young man who remained proud despite the harassment of the white Canterburians.
