From The Power of Local History: Commemorating Frank’s Life:
Liz, Denise, and I first found out about Frank through a church record which read:
In 1785, Frank had gotten his freedom and married a woman who was the daughter of a Black man and a white woman. They had two children together, both of whom died in childhood. His story then, is of a man built on the agency of getting his freedom, falling in love (we imagine), and living a more independent life in his later years.
