In mid-December 1798, Harry, a 22-yr-old freedom seeker, held by Bullitt County enslaver James Yewell, left slavery behind. Harry, who used the alias "Sam Butler" was about 5'10" trall and had a large, vertical scar on his forehead. He was a fiddle playere and may have known some blacksmithing skills. A $25 reward was offered for his return.
