Tom, a freedom seeker held by Fayette Co. enslaver George Caldwell, made a break for freedom on Mar 10, 1797. He took a rifle and ammunition with him and it was thought he would either head for Ohio or to Virginia. Caldwell offered a "generous reward" plus expenses for Tom's return. Tom was also mentioned in another advertisement a few weeks later which offered a reward for his return and that of his older brother, Nat.
