Description
-
Enslaver Thomas Bean offered a $100 reward for the return of Townley, who took his freedom while in Campbell County, one mile below Cincinnati (West Covington or Ludlow area). Townley, 21 yrs old, was recently purchased from John I. Estep of Maryland, and it is suspected he may return there (for family?), or he may go to Ohio or Pennsylvania. The enslaver resides in Prince George’s County, MD, though it’s not clear why Townley was in Kentucky when he escaped.
