Jack York (fl.
1800)[1] was a Canadian slave[2] in the Western District who was alleged to have raped a white woman named Ruth Tufflemier after breaking into her cabin.
York was arrested in August 1800 and was then tried for burglary, not rape as the trial took place on 12 September 1800, before Justice William Dummer Powell.
York eventually escaped and disappeared.
