Biography

On July 20th, 1811, 18-yr-old Daniel escaped Fayette Co. enslaver Lewis Collins. Daniel was described as a "smart, likely, keen, active, sensible fellow." It was thought that Daniel may have been headed to the Goose Creek Salt works (Clay County) or the Salt-Petre caves in Rockcastle- an indication that he was a salt miner at some point. Previously, Daniel was held by James Smith in Pulaski County. A reward of $50 was offered for his return.
