"Patty" Cannon, whose birth name may have been, Lucretia Patricia Hanly (c. 1760 or 1759 or 1769-May 11, 1829) was an illegal slave trader and the co-leader of the Cannon-Johnson Gang of Maryland-Delaware, which operated for about a decade in the early 19th century kidnapping free blacks and fugitive slaves, to sell into slavery in the South, which came to be known as the Reverse Underground Railroad.
