THIRTY GUINEAS REWARD.
RAN AWAY, about the month of November, 1800, from the
above property, a slave named THOMAS, answering the following
description; viz. he is a short well set very black young
Angola Negro Man, his upper fore teeth have been filed, and
are a good deal decayed, is marked on the right shoulder, but
almost obliterated, [--] [inc]; he is also marked very plain, upon
the left shoulder, JJC, JJC on top. This fellow ran away nearly
five about since, two months after being bought out of the ship,
when he had only the former brand on his right shoulder (the
latter having been given him for this trip) and was then harboured
near Spanish-Town, by a free black man, eighteen months,
who changed his name to STEPHEN, alias QUAMINA.
The subscriber will give the above reward to any person who
will prove to conviction by whom the said slave is harboured;
as also, Five Pounds for securing him, so that he may get him
again.
