Original data from R. Tibbetts. Meagan Brown supplied all datarelating to John's activities. In her first e-mail dated Sep 15 2002,Meagan says, "I live in the one time residence of John and SarahTibbits. It was the third stop of the underground railroad here inIndiana. John's parent's were Dr. Samuel Tibbits and I do believe themother was named Suzanne Combs Tibbits."
In further e-mails Meagan gave us this "....a couple with the lastname Nelson wrote Lyman Hoyt, in Vermont ,and asked him to come toIndiana, in turn the Hoyts asked the Tibbits ( in Maine) to come.
[Note from McLeester - I have not been able to establish Lyman Hoyt inthe Hoyt database as of Sep 23 2002.]
Lyman was a man of many trades. A blacksmith and carpenter. He had twobrothers that I know of, Benejah and Walter. I hope that I do notskip around too much...Lyman was married to Asenenth
Whipple Hoyt. The Whipple were a wealthy and famous family.
Walter married Louisa Smith and moved to Canada and then to Missouri.They had a daughter Elenor Hoyt Brainard Hoyt who became a well knownwriter. In one book "Our Little Old Lady". She writes of her motherand her father's romance. By the way, Walter's house prior to marryingLouisa is
also still standing.
Their object was to start the Neil's Creek AntiSlavery Society , whichthey did. The minutes are still at the (Lancaster, IN) visitor's ctr.and I have read them. Also, it was decided to build a college thatwould allow blacks and whites of both sexes to attend. Keep in mindthis was before the civil war! It was unheard of!
Slaves came to Lancaster and were educated and then sent northward.The stone house Lyman Hoyt built is still standing and beingrenovated. The college still stands. A large impressive limestonebuilding.
I am also posting a letter that was written by Mrs. Samuel Tibbits.This would be John's brother.

The Madison Courier Madison, Ind., Feb.11, 1880.
Editor Courier:
The very interesting article of Miss Auretta Hoyt in the last numberof THE COURIER has called up so many soul-stirring memories of thepast, the days when the struggle to liberate four million of men,women and children held in slavery, was known and felt by some, butpublicly confessed by few, that my humble pen desires to add someitems of interest to her truthful narrative.
We, as a family, were personal actors on many of the events sheenumerates. She closes her statistics in May, 1845. The societycontinued its organization until it was merged into the Republicanparty, when the principles of liberty for the oppressed in our landbegan to assume a political
position outside the church and a conscientious one inside of itssacred portals. The individual work, however, of the veteran worthiesnamed by Miss Hoyt, still went on, as occasion required. Andnotwithstanding the cruel law, (then a disgrace to our statute books)that we should not feed or comfort the stranger, if he were a coloredman or woman who had become tired of being bought and sold like balesof cotton or any other merchandise, the work went silently on, and myown wardrobe
has responded to the benevolent call of dear "Aunt Lucy Nelson" whenthe stranger was in her house and required the raiment necessary tohelp them out of our boasted America to the dominions of good QueenVictoria, where the bondsmen of our soil could be free; also, the newboots were
quickly removed from my husband's feet when "Uncle James" (as he wasfamiliarly called) said he knew a man who needed them more than hedid." No questions were asked nor the particulars given in those days,concerning the work so imitative of Him "who went about doing good,"only it was quietly and religiously done.
But as years passed on and the call became more and more imperativefor greater concert of action among Christians in the Church, theburden was harder to bear by those whose consciences had becomeenlightened by the blessed Bible, which says, "love worketh no ill tohis neighbor,"
and they felt they must act. Meanwhile, outrages of shocking crueltywere continually perpetrated upon the poor slaves and those who werewilling to help them. The lives of many noble and good men weresacrificed, if they dared to speak, write or preach against the sin ofAmerica slavery.
As time passed on a scene occurred that determined our course withregard to the Church. A poor slave living in Louisville was about tobe sent South (a fate they dreaded worse than death) and being urgedby his wife and four children for their sake, hoping sometime to seehim again. He did make the attempt, but being a timid man he was byhis shying about, soon discovered by the Conductor to be a runawayslave. He at once stopped the train and put him off near Vienna, Ind.The poor frightened man (yes, man) passing on soon came to a housewhere a minister of the Gospel was repairing a chimney for a newlymarried daughter, when the clergyman at once halted him with "comehere yon 'n_____,' " "I don't want to, massa," was the reply of thefriendless stranger. "Then, clear out, or I'll shoot you." The poorman took the advice, and quickly passed on he knew not where. Theminister as quickly hastened to the house of a professed Christian inanother church, who owned three dogs, and soon the minister, with theaddition of a knife in hand, with the brother and
his three dogs, went on the hunt of the panting fugitive. But otherparties in the neighborhood had somehow got wind of it, and, eager toget the money, for a reward of one hundred and fifty dollars had nowbeen offered, went in pursuit, and soon overtook the bewildered, tiredand hungry man, when he fell on his knees and "besought them for hiswife's and children's sake, not to take him back into slavery." But,regardless of prayers and tears, without any official authority, theytook the poor man back to his doom of hard and bitter bondage. Somelookers on said "it seemed enough to melt the heart of a stone to hearthe poor man's cries and witness his distress." But it did not reachthe heart of his captors. The disappointed minister did not get themoney, but the offence he committed led to a carefully written,earnest, appeal to the church of which we were members, asking them tosay, if the minister referred to (giving his name at that time) couldbe fellowshipped or invited to occupy our pulpit as was our customwith visiting brethren. The church was unwilling to speak out, thoughsome good brethren and sisters felt the crushing weight of such unholyand unscriptural conduct. Whereupon four of us felt the time had cometo take a decided stand in the way of reform, and called for lettersof dismissal, which we recieved (sic). At the close of this painfulbut necessary duty, some good members came to us and said, "we thinkjust as you do, but have not the courage to act it out." A few yearslater a prominent brother and wife came up to stay all night with us,and said, "We have come to say to you that we have advanced as far asyou were when you called for your letters from the Church, and if itwere to do over again, it would not be neccessary, for your requestfor action in that case would be granted." We rejoiced and thanked ourHeavenly Father for the advancing light of truth. It was a painfulstruggle to separate from the Church we so dearly loved, but duty andthe principle of liberty required.
But another and greater trial awaited us a few years later. Ouryoungest born, a dear son, a noble boy, not having yet seen eighteensummers, felt he must go at the call of his country and offer hisyoung life (if need be) upon the altar of freedom. And after willinglyand heroically sharing for a short time only the hardships of our lateand terrible war, he fell mortally wounded in his first battle and now
sweetly and silently sleeps in the Chattanooga cemetery.
Thus, I have briefly, given some of the struggles through which wehave passed in aiding the veterans in their noble work of humanliberty, most of whom from that neighborhood are now "resting fromtheir labors," awaiting "the resurrection of the just," and we toowill soon follow them, indulging
the hope that when Jesus comes we shall awake to a gloriousimmortality and receive "the gift of eternal life."
