Description
-
In early September, 1795, a 28-yr-old freedom seeker named Phill escaped from Woodford County enslaver Sally Beard, on South Elkhorn, near McBride's mill. Phill was described as a "good miller" and had a sore on his left leg. Beard suspected he had a pass and would head toward the mouth of the Kentucky river. A six dollar reward was offered for his return.
