Dangerfield Newby Dangerfield Newby ( 1815 – 1859 ) was the oldest of John Brown ' s raiders , one of five black raiders , and the first of his men to die at Harpers Ferry , Virginia . Life . Born into slavery in Fauquier County , Virginia , Newby married a woman also enslaved . Newby ' s father was Henry Newby , a landowner in Fauquier County . His mother was Elsey Newby , who was a slave , " owned " not by Henry , but by a neighbor , John Fox . Elsey and Henry lived together for many years and had several children , although interracial marriage was illegal in Virginia . Dangerfield was their first child . Dangerfield Newby , his mother and his siblings were later freed by his father when he moved them across the Ohio River into Bridgeport , Ohio . John Fox , who died in 1859 , apparently did not attempt to retrieve Elsey , Dangerfield , or any of his siblings . Dangerfield ' s wife and their seven children remained in bondage . A letter found on his body revealed the motive for joining John Brown and the raid on Harpers Ferry . Dangerfield Newby ' s wife , Harriet Newby , was the slave of Jesse Jennings , of Arlington or Warrenton , Virginia . She and her children were sold to Louisiana after the raid . Newby had been unable to purchase the freedom of his wife and seven children . Their master raised the price after Newby had saved the $ 1 , 500 that had previously been agreed on . Because all of Newby ' s other efforts had failed he hoped to free them by force . Harriet ' s poignant letters , found on his body , proved instrumental in advancing the abolitionist cause . Newby was six foot two . On the 17th of October , 1859 , the citizens of Harpers Ferry set to put down the raid . Harpers Ferry manufactured guns but the citizens had little ammunition , so during the assault on the raiders they fired anything they could fit into a gun barrel . One man was shooting six inch spikes from his rifle , one of which struck Newby in the throat , killing him instantly . After the raid , the people of Harpers Ferry took his body , stabbed it repeatedly , and amputated his limbs . His body was left in an alley to be eaten by hogs . In 1899 the remains of Newby - plus remains of nine other raiders - were reburied in a common grave near the body of John Brown in North Elba New York . Dangerfield Newby ' s descendants are still alive today ; Tyler Newby currently lives in a suburb of Cleveland , Ohio . Josh Newby lives in a suburb of San Francisco , California and Drew Szrom lives in Massachusetts . Letter from Harriet Newby . The following letter was found on Dangerfield Newby ' s body after the failed Harpers Ferry raid : bright hope to cheer me in all my troubles , that is to be with you . For if I thought I should never see you on this earth , life would have no charm for me . Do all you can for me which I have no doubt you will . I want to see you so much . The children are all well . The baby cannot walk yet . The baby can step around any thing by holding on to it , very much like Agnes . I must bring my letter to close as I have no news to write . You must write soon and say when you think you can comeYour affectionate Wife HARRIET NEWBY .

His company was moving through the valley to relieve a friendly unit surrounded by an enemy force of estimated regiment al size . 1st Lt . Marm led his platoon through withering fire until they were finally forced to take cover . Realizing that his platoon could not hold very long , and seeing four enemy soldiers moving into his position , he moved quickly under heavy fire and annihilated all 4 . Then , seeing that his platoon was receiving intense fire from a concealed machine gun , he deliberately exposed himself to draw its fire . Thus locating its position , he attempted to destroy it with an antitank weapon . Although he inflicted casualties , the weapon did not silence the enemy fire . Quickly , disregarding the intense fire directed on him and his platoon , he charged 30 meters across open ground , and hurled grenade s into the enemy position , killing some of the 8 insurgents manning it . Although severely wounded , when his grenades were expended , armed with only a rifle , he continued the momentum of his assault on the position and killed the remainder of the enemy . 1st Lt . Marm ' s selfless actions reduced the fire on his platoon , broke the enemy assault , and rallied his unit to continue toward the accomplishment of this mission . 1st Lt . Marm ' s gallantry on the battlefield and his extraordinary intrepidity at the risk of his life are in the highest traditions of the U . S .
