Howard is the feeders — the 'corn bread, venison, pork' that's the Mrs. Howard supplied, the 'generously' that's the Siebert recorded. The 'guided' is the son — the 'Howard and son' that's the escorted, the 'ten miles' that's the to Sardinia's abolitionists. The 'Pettijohns' is the handoff — the 'twenty-one miles' that's the first trips, the 'brothers' that's the next station.
The 'Whiterock' is the cluster — the 'Huggins brothers' that's the five miles west, the 'night trains' that's the sons ran. The 'two branches' is the Sardinia — the 'Buford-Lynchburg' that's the western, the 'New Market' that's the eastern. Howard is the feeder line — the 'farm' that's the first refuge, the 'better protection' that's the Sardinia meant.
The file keeps Howard Farm: the cornbread, the ten-mile guide, the Pettijohn handoff, and the Sardinia web.
Howard Family Farm is the archive's Ohio file — the farm that fed the line.
