I remembered seeing a very interesting TV movie titled:
Captive Heart: The James Mink Story
James Mink is a black man in Canada who has built a very successful livery business, and enjoys a white wife and a beautiful daughter, Mary. An excellent match is arranged with an American businessman, but when he takes his new wife Mary across the border his true character emerges - he sells her into slavery. James and Elizabeth must go to Virginia to rescue their daughter.
I don't know if this was based on a true story or not. You can see additional info here:
