Description
-
In July, 1814, the jailer of Bourbon County placed an advertisement regarding the capture of a freedom seeker named Nackey. She was described as about 30 years old and appeared to be "deranged." The enslaver named by Nackey was Peter Sparks, but she did not know the county where she had been held. If no claimant were to come forward, Nackey would be auctioned.
