Description
-
On 27 June 1857, F. M. Bess caught a man from Henry County at the Lochry Ferry and received a $400 out-of-state reward for having caught him on the Indiana side of the Ohio river. This may be a man enslaved to the Sanfords of Boone and Kenton counties, and he may have known his way through the area.
