On September 28, 1816, Aquilla (aka "Quill") escaped from Woodford County enslaver Warren Offutt, on the back of one of Offutt's horses. Aquilla was described as 28 years old, 5'10" tall and missing his two front teeth. It was suspected that he was in the company of another freedom seeker held by enslaver James Meek. A reward of $150 was offered for Aquilla's return, along with the horse or $100 without.
