Aaron Commodore
Aaron Commodore (born 1819 or 1820, died June 24, 1892) was an African-American businessman, politician, and former slave. He served on the Virginia House of Delegates from 1875 to 1877.
==Early life==
Not much is concretely known about Commodore's early life. He was born into slavery around 1819 and 1820, possibly in Essex County, Virginia. He took two wives. Commodore married his first wife Lettie (or Letty) while still a slave and she died at some unknown point in time. By 1870 he was recorded as being married to Catherine (or Katherine).
Commodore was described as a large man with a strong presence and was known for his leadership qualities. This reputation led him to be selected for jury duty when Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase called for respectable African-Americans to serve on the grand jury.〔 Commodore was not selected per his request, as he was willing to serve on the jury but did not have anyone to monitor his business while the court was in session.〔 He declined to accept money for his travel expenses, as travel to the courthouse had been slightly difficult for him, but eventually took the money after being pressed.〔 This interaction impressed both Chase and the United States marshal involved in the event and both men would later write about this interaction.〔
