Lewis Sheridan Leary was one of the members of John Brown's company of raiders, who took and occupied the federal arsenal and the gun factories in the town of Harper's Ferry, Virginia, (now West Virginia) in October of 1859. Leary was one of 5 black members of the company, was shot during the foray, and later died of his wounds. Born in Fayetteville, NC, he had lived for a number of years on Oberlin, Ohio, and it was from there that he joined Brown just a few days before Brown's action at Harper's Ferry.
When Leary left Ohio to join Brown, he left a wife and a six-month old daughter behind. After his death, his widow, Mary Sampson Patterson Leary, married another prominent member of Oberlin's black abolitionist community, Charles Langston. Their daughter was the mother of famous American poet, Langston Hughes.
