The famed abolitionist lived here at Thornfield before 1822, when he moved to Wilmington, Delaware. By the 1860's he had helped 2700 slaves escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad. A Quaker, he was a friend of Harriet Tubman and William Lloyd Garrison. His father (also named Thomas) had built Thornfield in 1800; his great-great-grandfather William Garet had arrived in Darby in 1684.
