Spanish-Town, Feb. 14, 1801.
WHEREAS the subscriber advertised some months ago, that a
Negro Man and Woman had run away from him; the man was
taken out of the workhouse at Black River, but the woman,
MARY, alias MARY FIELD, has been harboured by a free
Sambo woman, named Lowe, in this town, and, as I am informed,
has a forged ticket to work out, at a dollar a week, I do
now offer a reward of TWO DOUBLOONS for taking up and
putting into the workhouse in this town, or delivering to me
in Vere, the said negro woman Mary, alias Mary Field, as she
is my property, and I never gave her any ticket or writing property.
She is stout made, short hand and fingers, wears queues
and gold beads, and can work as a sempstress and washer;
she may pass as a free lady, and may have a forged manumission;
she may be harboured by others in this town, Kingston,
near Frankfort Bay in St. Mary’s, where she has a family, or
at Salt Savanna estate in Vere, by a mulatto man, named Ned
Peter[inc]. Whoever will prove by whom she is harboured, so
that the law may be put in force, shall receive the above reward
from her master.
THO. PRIDDEE.
