A freedom seeker named George, about 37 years old, was lodged in the Mason County jail in 1830. He was suspected of impersonating a man named George freed by Leonard Young of Fayette County in 1823. He admitted the other George had died in Indiana. He was described as about 5'7" tall, with one leg shorter than the other and as "very smart." It was suspected that he escaped from Clark, Woodford or Fayette County.
