Story of the first slave freed by Abraham Lincoln
#2
Wikipedia has a good detailed description of the legal case.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nance_Legi...gal_battle
Her court appeals began with Maj. David Bailey in Bailey v Cromwell, 1841
as her counsel. Bailey & Lincoln served together in the same militia unit
during the Black Hawk War.

Bailey v. Cromwell, 4 Ill. 71, 3 Scam. 71 (1841)
