Biography:

In September 1831, Daniel Jackson and Peter Reader fled their enslavement on Henrietta O'Neale's farm. O'Neale advertised in the Daily National Intelligencer for the fugitives' capture from October 1831 to May 1832, describing Jackson as wearing "a suit of half worn blue cloth, [and a] new black fur hat." She further described Jackson as "a mulatto, or rather a copper color, twenty-two years old, about five feet, five or six inches high, very well made, rather a low forehead, and smiles when spoken to."1
