Ibrahim Ben Ali

In that same year he made the Hajj to Mecca, subsequently taking two additional wives named Fatima and Ayesha, and eventually fathering 6 children by the three.

His exoneration the next morning convinced him to pursue Christianity, and he purchased and freed the slave, keeping him in his household to provide religious instruction.

[2] While in captivity, fellow prisoners wrote to Constantinople accusing him of apostasy and treason, causing his parents, wives and children to leave the city for Izmail, where they were all killed when the Russians sacked the outpost.

[2] Ibrahim was eventually freed after two years, following the intervention of either a local woman or Russian princess whose vision he had helped to recover,[2][6] or of a British general,[5] but having been warned of the danger of returning home by his brother, he instead took ship for Copenhagen and Liverpool, and thence to Dublin.

In America as Mr. Ibraham Adam Ben Ali, he set up practice as a physician in Boston, where he advertised patent medicines in late 1794,[7] followed by stints in New York City from 1795,[8] Philadelphia in 1799,[9] and Baltimore in 1800.
