Question
On the appeal of the freedman Louis Napoleon, a member of this family won the freedom of eight slaves in the 1852 “Lemmon Slave Case.” This family included William, the conservative abolitionist author of Condition of the Free People of Color, and his father, who founded the African Free School as the first president of the New York Manumission Society. A member of this family signed the 1799 Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery as Governor of New York and outraged (*) Southern states with his unratified treaty with Diego de Gardoqui. A judge from this family argued that citizens could sue a state in his majority opinion for Chisholm v. Georgia. Alexander Hamilton misattributed James Madison’s argument for the Three-fifths Compromise in Federalist 54 to a member of this family, the third author of the papers. For 10 points, name this family of the first Chief Justice. ■END■
