Rev. James Gilliland worked closely with John Rankin in Underground Railroad activities in the Ripley, Ohio area. The Red Oak Presbyterian Church was an active institution in Underground Railroad and anti-slavery activities. This image of Gilliland was collected by Ohio State University historian Wilbur H. Siebert (1866-1961), the first to really study and collect stories of the Underground Railroad in the state. | Date: c. 1860s | Source: Courtesy of the Ohio History Connection, Wilbur H.
