During the Civil War time slavery was very rough. The Underground Railroad was very important and very useful, but some slaves did die. They were in harsh shape from traveling, especially children. So overall about 500 to 1000 slaves died.

Considering the fact that the underground railroad was an illegal and illicit act, you will have to understand that this is probably not the easiest thing to track. In fact, due to the illiteracy of the majority of recently enslaved blacks, diaries and journals are not even a good judge. But most historians do agree that somewhere between 40,000 and 100,000 (big margin, I know) escaped on the underground railroad during the 1800's.

No names followed to choose from, as your question stated "which of the following people," but I believe you are looking for Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman, from Maryland, escaped slavery in 1849 and fled to Philadelphia. She returned soon after for her family. Afterward, Harriet spent atleast 10 years helping other slaves escape using the underground railroad. The Underground railroad was actually a network of homes, owned by salvery protesters, that opened their doors to fleeing slaves heading for the North.
