Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

Kingston, March 10, 1801. RAN AWAY, a few days ago, a Negro Boy named CAPECOAST, late the property of John Gibbons, deceased. He is known in most parts of the island, is very artful, and capable by his plausibility of imposing upon persons who may question him; he has been seen passing by Ellis’s Crawle to Spanish- Town, and pretended to be in search of a strayed horse, which the subscriber had given him a paper for two or three days before; he had on a blue cloth jacket, with buff or yellow collar, and nankeen pantaloons.
