Biography

30-yr-old Peter was captured and jailed as a "runaway" in Breckinridge County on Sep 24, 1823. He named his slaveholder as James Brassfield of Richmond, Ky. Peter's description shows evidence of violence: one of his front teeth was knocked out and he had a "number of scars on his hips, back and shoulders which appear from being severely whipped." The jailer's mandatory ad placement was intended to bring forth the slaveholder to claim Peter and pay expenses of his confinement.
