John Crenshaw

John Crenshaw

. Crenshaw was never convicted, although modern sources agree he was probably guilty.

Crenshaw built a mansion, known as Hickory Hill or the Old Slave House, near Junction, Illinois. It included twelve prison cells in the attic and a carriage door in the rear to allow wagons to carry in kidnapped slaves unobserved. The house is said to be haunted and was a tourist attraction until it closed in 1996.
