Full Narrative GEORGE and ALBERT WHITE were brothers. They fled from Cecil county, Maryland. They escaped from William Parker. " What kind of a man was William Parker ?" they were asked. " He was a big, bad man, no goodness in him," quickly replied one of the brothers. Their lot in Slavery had not been different from that of numbers coming from that section of the State.
