St. Mary, March 15, 1803.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the 18th, a Negro Man,
named SAM, of the Nago country; also, about three years ago,
a Negro Man, named SCIPIO, of the Chamba country; they are
both masons, and formerly belonged to the estate of Mr. John
McCulloch, mason, Kingston. Sam is an artful, plausible negro,
speaks very good English, and may try to pass himself for
a free man; both negroes are very well acquainted in Kingston
and Port-Royal, where they used to work. Sam used formerly
to be a very good tumbbler and dancer at Spring-Path, on Sundays.
They are both marked on one or both shoulders ID [a
l’envers vers la gauche], besides their country marks. Half-a-
Joe reward will be given for apprehending either or both, and
lodging them in any gaol or workhouse, or bringing them to
Mr. Wad[inc], or the subscriber, at Eden-Hill.
