Free man of color in Cincinnnati named George R. Smith implicated in escape of several enslaved from the Clarkson farm. Evan P. Anderson and Montegue McClure (Anderson Ferry) cleared him and themselves of any involvement. There are indications that they were actually involved (moved out of area, sale of ferry) as Smith may have been. Cincinnati Enquirer, Cincinnati, Oh; 15 April 1841 History of the Anderson Ferry
