Known African-American Allies of the Burleigh siblings
To be included on this list, there had to be at least one instance when one of the Burleigh siblings traveled, shared a podium, or worked on the same Abolitionist committee with the person in question. For the second list - the students who attended the Canterbury Female Academy - they would have had William and Mary Burleigh as co-teachers with Prudence and Almira Crandall. We know that after Canterbury, the students remained active in Abolitionist and civil rights concerns, and could very well have crossed paths with the Burleighs again in this manner.
