Henry Vanderburgh

Henry Vanderburgh (c. 1760–1812) was an American military officer and jurist. He was one of the first three judges of the United States territorial court for the Indiana Territory (the predecessor to today's U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana). Substantial documentation exists of Vanderburgh's role as a trader and kidnapper of both free and enslaved Black people.
