Fifty Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY, in February 1802, from Savannah, a Negro Fellow,
belonging to the estate of John Armour, named
CAESAR,
who has since taken the name of JAMES or JIM ; he was purchased
in 1792 by John Armour, from Alexander Watt, who
bought him, in 1791, from Israel Keiffer, by whom he was purchased
from Richard Singleton, of South-Carolina, and before
this belonged to the estate of George Norman, deceased ; he
is about 42 years of age, about 5 feet 7 inches high, appears to
walk lame, owing to the loss of his toes of the right foot, stout
made, and marked with small pox in the face, has a very artful
way of speaking, and wishes to pass as free ; it is supposed
he has a forged pass, signed by James Brown, with whom it
is thought he went away ; said Brown lived in Fairfield district,
South-Carolina in 1802 ; the Negro has a wife at Nathan
Cook’s, has been frequently seen in different parts of South-
Carolina, and is probably still on some of the plantations in the
middle or upper districts of the state ; he was seen last winter in Charleston, and at 15 mile-house between Charleston and
Jacksonborough ; he also visits Augusta, and Mr. Star’s plantation
at Beach-island, where a Negro woman (Chloe) he calls
his mother-in-law, lives.
The above reward, with all reasonable charges, will be paid
on his being delivered to the Gaoler in Savannah, or to the
subscribers.
All persons are warned against harbouring him, and masters of
vessels are cautioned against employing or carrying him off, as
the law will be put in force against such offenders.
In addition to the above reward, Fifty Dollars will be paid for
information of his being harboured, employed, or carried off,
on conviction of the offenders.
