Abel, a 30-yr-old freedom seeker, escaped from enslaver Samuel Herman in New Orleans, sometime in 1818. Abel had been purchased from Woodford County enslaver, John Harvy, in 1817 and it was suspected that he had made his way back to Kentucky. A reward of $50 was being offered for his return nearly two years after his escape.
