I think there are some real problems here.

Where do we get it that Jermain Wesley Loguen was called Jerry by anyone. Loguen was in most reports a rescuer of Jerry (also known by the slave name William Henry), though in his autobiography, he denied it. I think there should be a reference to justify the assertion that Loguen was also called Jerry, so I'm reversing this modification.

Jerry was a "freed slave"? If that were true, why would he have been arrested under the Fugitive Slave Law (and why did he need to escape to Canada?

I'm quite sure that Loguen's daughter was married to Frederick Douglass Jr, not THE Frederick Douglass.
