Just after Christmas, 1800, a 25 yr. old freedom seeker named Ephraim escaped from enslavement in Woodford County. The enslaver, John Jackson, placed a ad offering a reward of $20 for his return. Ephraim was described as about 5'8" tall, had a black spot on his nose and when he left, was wearing a blue cloth coat and overalls.
