On December 10, 1826, Madison County enslaver William Barnett discovered that 22-yr-old William had escaped from his property near Silver Creek. In an ad placed three days later, William is described as "stout made; nearly 6 feet high" and it is revealed that William can also read and write and would likely head for Ohio. A reward of $50 was offered for his return.
