Never Caught

by

Erica Armstrong Dunbar

Austin was Ona’s brother. He accompanied Ona up north when she followed the Washingtons to New York and Philadelphia following Washington’s ascendance to the presidency. Austin later died in a terrible accident while traveling south to Mount Vernon alone during one of the trips in which he was being “rotated” or “shuffled” back and forth between the Washingtons’ residencies to prevent him from earning his freedom after six months up north.
