Lemuel Brown was a farmer, in Canada, who escaped slavery, in New York state, when he was just a teenage boy. Brown describes being born in Vermont, around 1800, although an 1852 census, in Canada, recorded he was 60 years old. Vermont’s 1777 Constitution intended to outlaw slavery. But its wording contained a loophole, so it only outlawed the slavery of adults. Its wording continued to allow children to be used as slaves. Taken from https://en.wikialpha.org/wiki/Lemuel_…
