30 Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY on Wednesday morning the 8th inst. my servant,
JACOB ;
late the property of Major Wightman ; he is about 25 years of
age, his stature of the middle size, rather slender, but well proportioned,
has a mark or scar on one side of his nose, (not very
visible, being much obliterated by time) and just a little above
his ancles there appear other marks, occasioned by the fall from
a horse, his complexion is black, features regular, with small
eyes expressive of much vivacity, and a pleasant countenance
— his carriage is erect : He speaks the English language very
distinctly, and also has a knowledge of the French language,
and is frequently in company with French negroes.
Had on when he went away, a half worn black cloth coat, light
coloured waistcoat, blue cassimere pantaloons, and white cotton
or lined shirt.
Jacob is a very artful fellow, and in order to evade detection,
it is probable he will change his apparel, and speak in the
French language. All persons are cautioned against harbouring
or carrying the said Fellow out of the state as the law will be
strictly enforced against them.
Daniel Macaulay.
