Sometime before Aug. 7th, 1816, 42-yr-old Jacob, held by Woodford County enslaver, Reuben Twyman, was accused of stealing whiskey. Likely fearing punishment, he escaped. In an add placed by the enslaver, Jacob was described as about 5'10" tall with large whiskers. He had suffered a burn to his left hand that "deprived him of nearly all his fingers and part of his thumb." Twyman offered a reward of up to $200 for his return. Jacob was also with a group of four enslaved men who had escaped the same enslaver in 1801
