Description

In September, 1830, Chiles & Taggart, who owned a bagging factory in Clark County, offered a reward for the return of Ned, who escaped their custody while he worked for them. Ned had a "considerable scar" on one cheek and was about 5'6" tall. Ned's father was a free man living in Frankfort and it was suspected that Ned would try to reach him. Ned was claimed by the heirs of Johnathan Parrish, deceased.
