Friendship, St. Ann, Nov. 23, 1803.
RAN AWAY from Palmyra Estate, where he was hired in
April, last year, a young Negro Man, of the Congo country,
named KANT, by trade a carpenter; he has his country marks
on his temples and above his nose; he was marked on the left
shoulder JP in one, which is supposed to be defaced; he was about 5 feet 2 inches high the last time he was measured, but
is supposed to exceed that now; he is a plausible artful fellow,
and may change his name and attempts to pass for free, as he
did the last time he ran away, when he changed his name to
BOB, and was most of the time he was absent among the maroons
in the Accompong-Town, by whom he was afterwards
carried to Falmouth workhouse. Whoever will apprehend the
said negro, and deliver him to viz.[inc] William James Parsons,
at Mount-Oliver; Mr. John Archer, St. Ann’s Bay; or, the
subscriber, shall receive a Half-Joe reward.
All persons are hereby cautioned against harbouring or concealing
the said negro, as the offender may depend on being prosecuted
to the utmost rigour of the law.
ELIZABETH S. PARSONS.
