The record — long form
Nye House is the triangle — the record pins Sardinia, but 228 Adams stands in Putnam, the 'Muskingum, church, academy' that's the between them all. The '1839 riot' is the targeted — the 'mob' that's the attacked conductors, the 'presided' that's the Horace chaired the convention. The '51 members' is the Lucinda — the 'Female Anti-Slavery' that's the society president, the 'Stone Academy' that's the taught at a station.
The 'daughter's word' is the evidence — the 'always helped' that's the safe retreat quote, the 'secret' that's the both worked under. The 'strategic' is the spot — the 'hub' that's the activity centered, the 'between river and church' that's the escape geography. Nye is the couple — the 'Horace conductor' that's the unclear but present, the 'Lucinda leader' that's the documented public.
The file keeps the Nyes: the triangular location, the '39 mob, the daughter's testimony, and the 51-member society.
Nye-Potts House is the archive's Ohio file — the Putnam triangle's heart.
Why this file matters
