On Feb 12, 1808, 22-yr-old Anthony escaped from Montgomery County enslaver Abraham Wilson. Anthony took with him a "large homemade knife" and a wine bottle. Anthony had posed as a freedman, formerly the property of a fictional Henry Sandford in the past and it was assumed he may try the same again. Ten dollars was offered for his capture and delivery to a man named Micajah Clark in Clark County.
