Description

On September 18, 1829, 35-yr-old Anaca escaped Woodford County enslaver, Nicholas Lafon. She was described as 'sensible and remarkably subtle" with a capacity for learning "anything." Anaca, who had a scar on her chest from a whip lash, had escaped previously and used the alias "Daphney." It was suspected that she would be found in Frankfort or on the Elkhorn in the company of free African Americans. A reward of $20 was offered for her return.
