Sometime around October 20, 1819, 25-yr-old Bazil escaped from the Lexington area, where he had been hired out by the estate of enslaver John Pettit (deceased.) It was suspected that Bazil had obtained a pass and had stolen two pistols from Capt. James Kay and rode away atop a pilfered sorrel mare. A reward of $50 was offered for his return.
