Description: From the article, "[Woodford] was suspected of having aided in the escape of the slave of a man naemd Piatt, in Boone County Ky. The runaway was the coachman of the Piatt family and was missed early in the morning. A posse started in search of him. They traced him to and across the Ohio and into Indiana about five miles from Barkshire's depot. Shortly after the hunders reached the Indiana shore they met a man whom they questioned as to whether he had seen the runaway, giving a description of him. This man had seen young Barkshire only a short time before he met the hunters going toward the town, but alone. If he had been in company with the slave he had hidden him away. A watch was kept over his movements for some time, but he eluded the spies and finally succeeded in piloting the runaway out of their reach. This slave was never captured."; Accessed online at Newspapers.com
