Charles Giffith’s Iron Collar
Runaway White Boy Register #5
© 2016 James LaFond
NOV/18/16
Based on the names we are seeing an even mix of Irish and Scottish.
What kind of bad person do you have to be to wear an iron collar on your neck? In any case, Mister Griffith wants it back, along with the son of a bitch wearing it.
Do note the presence of more “unidentified” accomplices? on this list.
As for Henry Stocks, it seems he was not born to rise above his parent’s low station, for he was named for the stationary yoke that criminals were locked in by the wrist and neck, so that they might be tormented by children and passersby.

Notes
0. There is a Paca Street in East Baltimore, named after John Hennisse's master, which would be among the portions of modern Baltimore existing at this time, along with the Inner Harbor area, Canton, Fells point, South Baltimore and South Charles Street. Do note that it was very rare for these white servants to flee from the city, but that they fled from country plantations, where they made up the bulk of the labor force until the Revolutionary War.
1. Note that the vast majority of servants fled on foot and that most who fled on horseback did so without a harness, but rode bareback. We may surmise that most of those servants who escaped on horseback were from the upper class, as poor English, Scottish and Irish rarely had experience with handling horses.
2. One could easily swim—wade most of the way in fact—from Kent Island to the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
3. Daniel shares the last name of two men who would become American boxing champions of the next century, "Yankee" Sullivan and John L. Sullivan.
4. Darby shares the first name of an Irishman of the 1580s who was kidnapped and enslaved no fewer than three times by two nations and shares the last name with a Wilmington, Delaware journalist. The port of New Castle at Wilmington was a bustling hub of Irish slavery.
