Biography
-
Henry Towles of Bourbon County offered a $500 reward for the capture and return of Jim, A.K.A. James Edwin or Edwards. Jim, who was about 25 yrs. old and a shoemaker by trade, made his escape on a stolen grey horse. It was likely that Jim was carrying a Bible and was known to preach, though the enslaver found him to be a "hypocrite and detestable villain" for having absconded.
