Wicked Local
Last summer, Lexington resident Sean Osborne walked into the office of Billerica Senator Cindy Friedman, D-Arlington, with a story to tell.
It was the story of a man known as Quock Walker, born into enslavement in Massachusetts during the 18th century.
When Walker’s enslaver, James Caldwell, died in 1763, his widow remarried and took Walker with her to her new home in Barre. Caldwell had apparently promised Walker his freedom, but this was refused by his new enslaver, Nathaniel Jennison.
In 1781, Walker ran away from Jennison, to the house of Caldwell s brother. Jennison reenslaved Walker, beating him severely.
