Biography
On October 4, 1813, enslaver James Edmondson discovered that 28-yr-old Eliza, whom he had brought with him from Staunton, VA, had escaped him. She took a grey horse, equipped with a good bridle and side-saddle. She left in the company of an African American man named "Mr. Botts," also of Fleming County, who played the violin. It's not clear if he was free or enslaved.
