There are 2 cases involving a "Thomas Gibbons", one from 1821 and one from 1826, both involving Gibbons' assisting slaves to escape from New Jersey to New York in his steamboats. While his name and status as a steamboat owner are consistent with those cases, the character seems very different. Where is a good source for further information? Thank you.
