While looking at the water tortures I found a story about: Mary Jane Holmes Shipley Drake was a central figure in an 1852 slavery case in which her father, a former slave, successfully sued his former owner, Nathaniel Ford, for the freedom of his three children, including Mary Jane. It was the only slavery case ever adjudicated in Oregon courts. Mary Jane married another former slave from Missouri, Reuben Shipley, in 1857. http://usslave.blogspot.com/2011/03/water-...
