Ann Deborah Lynn knew she was born to be leader despite her circumstances as an African American in Lexington, Kentucky. Born October 3, 1810 to William Henry Lynn and Sarah Mae Lynn, her vision to be an inspiring Civil Rights Activist would be the biggest challenge of her life. Her father, William was a slave captured in Angola, Africa in broad daylight and her mother, Sarah was a daughter of slaves from Guinea. Free blacks in the South couldn’t express how they felt and wasn’t able to travel as freely as the free slaves in the Northern cities.

Ann always knew she wanted to travel and speak to other slaves

While traveling to Rome, William contracted tuberculosis, resulting in his death in 1803, shortly after arriving in Rome. The grieving widow and her eldest daughter were taken in by one of William’s business partners who introduced them to Roman Catholicism. When she returned to New York, Seton changed churches as a step of her conversion. Seton quickly found that life could be harder with her new religion, struggling for work and acceptance of society. Elizabeth moved to Emmitsburg, Maryland in 1808 to open a school for Catholic girls. As more joined alongside Elizabeth, they became the first American Catholic Sisterhood, evangelizing and teaching about Catholicism to young girls and the poor who they volunteered to

Anthony’s first paid position was headmistress of the girls department of Canajoharie Academy in 1846. During this time she was deeply troubled by the fact that women received much lower wages than their male counterparts for equal work. She returned to the family farm in Rochester New York when Canajoharie Academy closed in 1849. At this time she began to be fully involved in reform work. She was introduced to Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851 who had played a key role in organizing the Seneca Falls convention in 1848, which was the first women’s rights convention in the United States. The two of them formed a lifelong friendship and ever after were constant partners in the battle for women’s rights and social justice. Their relationship was complimentary: Stanton did the writing and came up with ideas while Anthony excelled at organizing and delivering speeches. Her methods of raising public awareness and building grassroots support for social causes are still in use by political parties today.

Abigail Betty's cousin also wanted to be part of practicing witchcraft and I think that's when her uncle thought maybe she had done something to Betty and he told her to cure her.
