Nancy Northcott had married John Vansandt, a nephew of Joshua Van Sandt who married her older sister Drusilla. They lived in Hamilton County, Ohio. He was a man of strong mind, well informed, a devoted Christian and the most uncompromising abolitionist ever known. He had purchased a home known as Mt. Pierpoint. There he gave protective shelter and care to any in need. His house was on the ‘Underground Railroad’ of Kentucky to Canada and a hiding and feeding place for slaves fleeing to freedom. In this period of the early 1800’s, it was not safe to be an Abolitionist. But John could not have lived with his conscience had he not tried to help the Black People find freedom and equality.
