Your ancestor on the underground railroad didn't do what you claim he or she did for money....My ancestors did not even live in this country until the 1890's.
I have a friend whose ancestors ran a station on the Underground Railroad. I wonder what the ancestors of the people they helped to get to Canada would think if my friend knocked on their doors and demanded to be repaid for the services his ancestors provided.
I do remember that the slave-masters that your ancestor helped Americans to escape away from -- demanded to be repaid for their slaves....
