I have found some difficulties in discovering some of the routes for the underground railroad. One of the questions that I have are where did the various lines of escape end. I know of several in the United States but very few in Canada and yet we know that many escaped slaves came to Canada to find their freedom. I know of one such area in in a small community called Canfield. As a matter of fact not only was this part of the underground railroad but many of these ex-slaves settled not far from there. There later grew a small settlement of these escaped slaves on what became unofficially known as the "Darkie Side Road" this was not a slur against anyone but rather intended for reference alone. This information came from word of mouth and I am in the process of attempting to confirm some of this.
