I'm not sure the slave's name is written. One day he came upon a slave working out on the road and asked him who his master was. The slave replied that it was Colonel Lloyd but clearly did not recognize his master as the man before him. Lloyd asked the slave if his master treated him well, and the slave replied that he worked him too hard and did not give him enough to eat. The colonel said nothing and left the slave in the road.

A few weeks later it was revealed that the slave was to be sold to a Georgia trader, forever removed from his family and friends. His overseer told him it was because he has found fault with his master. This "was the penalty of telling the truth, in answer to a series of plain questions."
