On June 26, 1820, freedom seeker David made a break for freedom from Fayette County enslaver, W. H. Tegarden. David was about six feet tall and had some scarring from small pox. He wore his hair short, but with braids at each temple. David did not smoke, drink nor chew tobacco. A reward of $100 was offered for his return.
