Biography
-
Freedom seeker Dennis escaped from Georgetown enslaver Hugh Emison on May 15, 1813. He was spotted with a white man in Dry Ridge, Grant County, two days later, presumably making his way toward Cincinnati. Dennis was about 27 years old, blind in one eye and was likely to be carrying paperwork from a previously pending freedom lawsuit in Harrison County. A reward of up to $100 was offered for his return.
