In May, 1820, 30-yr-old Phill , known as "Phill Lumpkin," escaped Fayette County enslaver Lucy Young. Phill was described as about 5'10" tall, slender and with a "yellow" complexion. He escaped on a 9-yr-old blood bay mare with a star on her forehead. Phill was "artful and sensible" and could read and write. A reward of $50 was offered for Phill's return and $10 for the mare.
