On January 24, 1819, a freedom seeker named John escaped from Scott county enslaver John Downing. He was described as "about 30 years old" at the time of his escape. A $10 reward was offered and may have been collected. On June 25th, 1854, an enslaved man named John, held by John Downing in Scott County, died of cholera. He was about 60 yrs. old at the time of his death; it's plausible this is the same John.
