Biography

On Feb. 3, 1825, 30-yr-old Reuben escaped enslavement in Lexington, Ky. John Gordon, of Lexington and J.R. Trunbull, of Winchester offered a reward of up to $100 for Rueben, who was described as about 6 fee tall and slim. It's not clear who the legal enslver was, but it seems that Reuben was in Gordon's custody at the time of his escape; possibly a leasing arrangement.
