Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I have been doing diligent research on this for about an hour. There is no mention of him at World Connect, which is a collection of family trees. Any of the sites about the movie made about him don't mention a year of birth or death, though they say the action takes place in the 1850s. Canadian historical essays only say he kept a tavern in the Toronto area in the 1840s.

James Mink
Canadian-born James Mink was one of Toronto's wealthiest Black citizens in the 1840s. He owned the Mansion Inn and Livery on Adelaide Street as well as stables on Terauley and Queen Streets. City Council used Mink's livery stables for its horses, while his stagecoach service carried passengers as well as mail between Toronto and Kingston until the 1860s.
