Dick, an African American man residing in Johnston County, North Carolina, was enslaved by Nathan Williams. In 1768 Dick and two other enslaved individuals were charged with poisoning Isaac Williams, Nathan's brother. In the course of the trial, several other enslaved individuals stated that Dick gave several enslaved people "truck," or a folk medicine thought to have magical properties. Dick allegedly encouraged other enslaved people to use the truck on their enslavers, claiming that it would make the enslavers treat them better. The court found Dick guilty of poisoning and ordered his execution by hanging. Any further information regarding this individual has not been located.
