Hello! I am wondering if anyone might know where I could find information about abolitionists in Oxford County, especially Woodstock & Sumner. I'd be looking for association records, or church groups, meeting minutes that sort of thing.. anything, really, that might show names of those who were active in the movement.
Thanks!!!

You can view some abolitionist petitions at Digital Maine, including one in this collection signed by women from Sumner and Hartford. I'm sure the National Archives has anti-slavery petitions from Maine towns that are not yet online.
This is very useful - thank you!!
Chris is on-point.
I woulld also suggest wading through the newspapers of the time, if they're digitized. You might come across articles referring to meetings - both for and against.
