Description

In 1814, a 22 year old woman named Jude escaped from Quenton Moore, to whom she was hired out by enslaver Ely Thomas. Jude's mother was held by Moore. After having been absent for several weeks, Jude was seen near Thomas' property in Bourbon County. The next day, 20-year-old Jerry also escaped. A reward was offered for their return together or seperately.
