In September, 1799 two Freedom seekers were captured near Fort Wayne, Indiana Territory. John, about 25 yrs old, named his enslaver as Donn Lee and Bill, who was about 23 yrs old, gave the name of Mrs. Mosby as his enslaver. They claimed to have fled from an area between Lexington and Georgetown, KY. The ad was placed by W. Wells.
