In late July or early August 13-year-old Udorah, sometimes called Amanda, left the property of Mr. Johnston, Esq of New Castle, where she and her mother had been hired out from enslaver JD Breckinridge. A few days later, B. J. Harrison of Louisville took over the hire of Udorah's mother and the financial responsibility of the missing Udorah. Harrison hoped the young girl would come to Louisville looking for her mother.
