Ran-Away,
ON the 22d of last month, from my plantation, a Mustee Fellow
by the name of DAVID. He is of a thin visage, with high
cheek bones, and is a little pock marked ; his feet are remarkable
for being very sharp pointed, and the number of marks
of corns on his toes ; one, or both, of his ears are bored for
ear-rings, and he wears a small gold ear-ring in one of them.
He is a shipwright by trade, and a jobbing carpenter ; is very
plausible in speech and manners, and being an artful fellow
may change his owners name, and will endeavour to get back
to where he came from, (City of Washington) through the back
settlements of this state. Any person who will take and deliver
him to me on my plantation, shall receive 30 Dollars ; for lodging
him in any gaol in this state 20 Dollars, and 20 Dollars
on proof to conviction of his having been harboured by any
person whatever, with reasonable charges.
Wm. Doughty, jun.
Santee, near Jamesville, May 14.
