Biography

18-yr-old freedom seeker Lorry disappeared from Madison County enslaver Hiram Biggerstaff just after Christmas, 1809. There was an assumption that she was "stolen" and may be disguised as a man. She was described as tall and slim, with pierced ears and "very neat made." She was well dressed and "thinks herself much of a lady." $50 reward was offered for her return.
