In August, 1819, 24-yr-old Joe escaped Fayette Co. enslaver Lewis Dedman, who lived four miles west of Lexington. Joe was descried as about 5'9" tall with a "yellow complexion and a humiliated or humble look." A reward of up to $50 was offered for hist return. Another ad was placed two months later by a different enslaver, William Bowman, who had recently purchased Joe, who had escaped again.
