Absconded,
FROM the subscriber, about six weeks since, his negro wench
DIANA. She is about 5 feet 8 inches high, black complexion,
28 or 30 years of age, well made, very sensible and artful, and
a good seamstress. It is ascertained that said wench was enticed
away by M(…) Reed, (for some time a tutor in my family)
who went off about the same time, and has since been seen on
his way to Charleston, where it is probable he may take shipping
for one of the northern states. Reed is about 28 years of
age, fair complexion, curly dark hair, blue eyes, and rather a
down look, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high ; badly clothed, having a
coarse blue coat, and the rest of his dress woollen—nor had he
a change. He is a native of Ireland.
A handsome reward will be paid for securing said Reed, with
the wench, in any of the gaols of this state.
Masters of vessels are cautioned against taking them out of the
state. Any information respecting them will be attended to, by
application at No. 19, East-Bay, or to
J. B. Hutson, Pocotaligo.
