Description
“The Record Continued.” - The Weston Sentinel says in its Thursday’s issue: Yesterday a civil warrant was issued for the arrest of 10 runaway slaves belonging to the Wyman family, and two belonging to W. Wilson of Clinton County. They were arrested by the Sheriff in Well’s pasture, and brought to the city (Weston, Missouri), and put in confinement. There was much excitement consequent on their arrest and imprisonment; it being so evident that there would be an attempt to rescue them, it was deemed prudent to release them at about half past 7 o'clock last evening.
(Researcher's note: There was a Christian Wyman of Ray County, Missouri. The Platte County Sentinel was a weekly newspaper published in Weston, Missouri, during the Civil War era from 1861 to 1864.)Date(s) of Creation
