Biography

In November, 1802, Georgetown enslaver Elijah Craig offered a $30 reward for the return of 22-yr-old James. James was a papermaker and was "frequently mistaken for a white man." A post note on the advertisement explains that Craig "raised him from his infancy" and that his intention was to free James at age 31, but the loss was affecting his paper business.
