Semi-Weekly Mississippian [Jackson, MS], February 17, 1860

The Chattanooga Reflector says a  white woman by the name of Mary Wilson, of Adairsville, Ga., came up to that place on the  Georgia train on the 6th, with a big buck negro belonging to a gentleman of the former place,  who she had stolen with the intention, it is believed, of running him off to a free State. Mary was  dressed in men’s clothes. They were arrested and lodged in jail.
