In 1801, four men: Abraham, Jacob, John and Sawney, escaped Woodford County on the backs of four "likely horses." The men were enslaved by Reuben Twyman, who claimed they left without the "least provocation." $30 for each freedom seeker and $4 for each returned horse was offered as reward. Sawney was described as about 5'7" tall and a "trim and likely lad."
