Description
-
On October 9th, 1829, 35-yr-old Frank escaped Lexington enslaver Samuel Trotter. Frank was about 35 years old, 5'8" tall and very talkative. A reward of $20 was offered for his return. Samuel had escaped once before. It's not clear if he was re-captured after this attempt, but he did not appear in Trotter's 1833 estate appraisal.
