    Notes:

    Jennie's parents were Simeon Wilmot and Harriet Redden of Coles/Douglas County Illinois. Sim was born about 1816-17 in Kentucky. I have a transcript of the court records when he was emancipated and paid his required bond in 1846. Harriet was connected to a leading family. She was brought to Illinois from Maryland as a slave but was freed once here. Harriet had three daughters and one son. Jennie was the youngest. Sim and Harriet can be found in the 1850-1880 census of Coles or Douglas County, IL.

    Sim is believed to be the brother of Jane Bryant. They were both enslaved by General Robert Matson of Bourbon County Kentucky. The 1847 Matson Slave Trial was a result of Jane fleeing with her four children to keep them from being sold down south. Abraham Lincoln, famously, represented Matson against the Bryants in this case. What is ironic is that Sim got his freedom the exact way Jane tried a year before she fled the Illinois farm. Matson didn't seem to care that Sim left, but he took action to try and stop Jane and her children.

    I would love to share the information I have on this family with their descendants! We also do a dinner theater performance three times each year about the trial from all the various viewpoints. www.matsontrial1847.org for more details. Perhaps they would want to attend to hear about their great, great, aunt and her struggle.
