Bowden Estate, St. Thomas in the
East, Feb. 9, 1801.
RAN AWAY from the above property, in the month of October
last, a Negro Man, named ADAM (who, when formerly run
away called himself BASHFUL), of the Mundingo country,
about 5 feet 8 inches high, black complexion, stout made, a
little bandy-legged, and marked on both shoulders IML in one,
B on top. He speaks remarkably good English, and may endeavour
to pass as free, being very artful. He is well acquainted in the vicinity of Kingston, Liguanea, and Spanish-Town, having
formerly (when run away in the years 1796 and 1797) been
employed in working on board the shipping in the harbours of
Kingston and Port-Royal, by means (at times) of false tickets.
All masters of vessels are hereby cautioned against employing
the said negro: And whoever will apprehend and lodge him in
any gaol or workhouse in this island, and give information thereof,
or deliver the said negro to Geo. Kinghorn, Esq. Kingston;
or to me, on the said Estate, shall receive Five Pounds
reward.
