In 1808, a reward was offered for the return of 18-yr-old Tom, who had escaped Bardstown enslaver Thomas Hite. It's likely that he was in company with his half-brother Charles, who escaped from enslaver William Pottinger, also of Nelson County. Tom was described as "sensible and shrewd" and was able to write some. He had be formerly enslaved by Judge Ormsby of Jefferson County.
