Nuckolls was known for bringing the first four slaves into Nebraska, two of whom escaped in 1858. Nuckolls offered a $200 reward for the return of the two women, known as Eliza Grayson and "Celia," 14, and organized a [[wikt:posse#Noun|posse]] that pursued the two all the way to Chicago. Eliza was initially reported to be 16, but records show she was actually 20. Nuckolls and a professional kidnapper found Eliza in Chicago two years after her escape. However, Nuckolls and Grayson were arrested by Chicago law enforcement and put into a local jail. There, an abolitionist mob broke Eliza from the jail and secured her safe travel to Canada, where she disappeared. Nuckolls also escaped, only to be hunted down by a mob of [[abolitionists]]. City councilman [[Hiram Joy]] gave him a disguise and helped him leave the city, when he went back to Nebraska. The 500-mile journey of the two young women from Nebraska City to Chicago was recreated by a group of high school students in 2016.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wyomingpublicmedia.org/post/humanature-episode-19-freedom |title=HumaNature Episode 19: Freedom |last=Wyoming Public Media |date=March 29, 2017 |website=HumaNature |publisher=Wyoming Public Media Statewide Network |location=Cheyenne, WY}}</ref><ref>[https://history.nebraska.gov/how-eliza-grayson-escaped-nebraska-slavery/ "How Eliza Grayson escaped Nebraska slavery"] by David Bristow on 9/1/2020 for [[Nebraska State Historical Society|History Nebraska]].</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=McKee |first=Jim |date=February 19, 2012 |title=Stephen Nuckolls, a man of varied careers, firsts and a few surprises |url=http://journalstar.com/news/local/jim-mckee-stephen-nuckolls-a-man-of-varied-careers-firsts/article_5de857e4-f6e3-5343-ba98-d8e700f33432.html |work=Lincoln Journal-Star |location=Lincoln, NE}}</ref>
