I was born free, but indentured to businessman Robert Howard when I ran from the Locust Grove Iron Works in Baltimore, Maryland on this day in July, 1850. I may have changed my name and found work for someone else. I was called GEORGE DURHAM. #blackhistory #Marylandhistory #Baltimore
Colored boy ran away and teamster wanted. Ran away from Locust Grove Iron works, on the 1st inst. An indentured colored boy, named George Durham about 16 years of age. He is short set and nearly black, has a bare spot on his head, and stupid look. All persons are forbidden to harbor or employ said boy, at the peril of the law. One or two good, sober Wagoners with family wanted. Apply to R. Howard & Co., Pratt Street. Baltimore Sun 1850-07-06
