Charity's Children Project

Preserving a Family Legacy

About

About Our
Organization

Charity’s Children Project, Inc. and The Legacy of Charity’s Children, LLC (TLCC) was founded to preserve the inspiring heritage of early Ohio settlers, John Isaac Davis and his daughter, Charity Davis Caesar Broady (1802-1899) who was of African and Ani'-Yun'wiya (Cherokee) descent. A family in the first free state, since its inception, TLCC represents 12 generations (and counting) in the Miami Valley of Dayton, Ohio since 1803/1804.

The Firewatchers

Dedicating her life to reclaiming and rebuilding the Dayton community, Charity and other survivors of the Africatown attacks organized Black citizens who formed the Firewatchers. Rather than sleep at night, they gathered their families to sit outside, watching their roofs, and patrolling Dayton streets to guard against threatening pro slavery mobs.
