Adam Crosswhite (1799–1878) was a formerly enslaved man who fled slavery along the Underground Railroad and settled in Marshall, Michigan. In 1847, slaveholders and slave catchers from Kentucky came to Michigan to retrieve African Americans and return them to slavery. Citizens of the town surrounded the Crosswhite's house and prevented them from being abducted. The Crosswhites fled to Canada and their former owner Francis Giltner filed a suit, Giltner vs. Gorham et. al., against residents of Marshall. Giltner won the case and was compensated for the loss of the Crosswhite family. After the Civil War, Crosswhite returned to Marshall, where he lived out the rest of his life.
