Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

Absconded, ON the 7th July last, my NEW NEGRO MAN, SAMBO, of the Gola nation, and of the following description : about 6 feet high, 21 years of age, round, full face, a pleasant countenance and coarse voice, some small marks common to his country— when standing inclines to lean forward, and when asked his master’s name says Sandy—he was thinly cloathed.—Circumstances induce me to believe, that Sambo was stolen and carried to some part of Cumberland river, or Kentucky. Any person who will give information so the said Negro may be found, may receive a reward of Twenty Dollars. A further reward of Fifty Dollars will be given for his being lodged in any gaol in this state ; and a reward of One Hundred Dollars, will be given for the Thief and the Negro.
