Josiah Henson (June 15, 1789 - May 5, 1883) was an author,
abolitionist, and minister. Born into slavery in Charles County,
Maryland, he escaped to Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1830, and
founded a settlement and laborer's school for other fugitive slaves
at Dawn, near Dresden in Kent County. Henson's autobiography, The
Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of
Canada, as Narrated by Himself (1849), is widely believed to have
inspired the character of the fugitive slave, George Harris, in
Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852).
