Description

Artful Billy! Slaveholder Francis Flournoy, near the forks of Licking, offered a $20 reward for the return of Billy, 37 or 38 years old. It is suspected that he may change his appearance and clothing, as he is described as "artful and cunning." The ad mentions he may be in the company of a white man posing as his slaveholder.
