About this Item
Ebenezer Griffin (1775-1860) is almost certainly the same man who was one of the presiding judges at Crandall's first trial under the Black Law, and then again at Frederick Olney's trials; the full trial transcripts of both trials are available in this database. His stance on slavery and abolition at the time of Canterbury are unknown, but he is noted as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, in Hampton (in Windham county) by Horatio T. Strother, The Underground Railroad in Connecticut, (Middletown CT: Wesleyan University Press, 1962), p. 211.
