    Judge was in her 20s when she escaped from the Philadelphia household in May 1796, to get to freedom farther north. She was classified as a fugitive slave and Washington advertised for her return. She had learned that Martha Washington intended to transfer her enslavement to her granddaughter, which meant Judge would be returned to Virginia with little chance of freedom.

    Judge reached Portsmouth, in New Hampshire, a free state. There she married, had children, and converted to Christianity. Though Judge was never formally freed, after Washington's death, his survivors ultimately stopped pressing her to return to enslavement in Virginia...'
