300 Dollars Reward.
THE subscriber offers a reward of TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS
for apprehending a villain who passes by the name of
BALDWIN, and was recommended as an overseer. He took
on the 15th inst. a prime Negro Fellow, by name LEWIS, from
the subscriber’s plantatation. Baldwin is about five feet five to
seven inches in height, from 27 to 30 years of age, fair complexion,
well made, and remarkably active, speaks fluently,
and is very plausible ; his voice is more affeminate than strong
and manly ; was a surveyor in the Mississippi Territory, and
kept a school on the Long Bay the last summer ; wore a pair of
pantaloons & long coat, made of light mixed homespun, and
a blue or dark coloured round jacket or spencer over his coat,
with a white hat. He says he is a native of Massachusetts, but
more probably a Virginian. It is probable he will make his way
westward.
Lewis is a good looking and well made fellow, from 5 feet
to 5 or 6 inches high, 22 or 23 years of age, subordinate and
well disposed ; clothed in dyed plains pantaloons and jacket,
is a native of Virginia, and was purchased a few years ago of
a Mr. Wingate, of Virginia. A further reward of ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS will be paid for the delivery of Lewis to
Mr. FRANCIS WITHERS, in Georgetown, S. C. or to
Thomas Waring, Jun.
