Kingston, July 7, 1804.
SIX DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN AWAY, more than eight years past, a short elderly creole
negro woman, 4 feet 11 inc. high, with a low forehead, named
GRACE; the hair on the crown of her head is much worn,
owing to her carrying loads, as she was formerly a notorious
higgler, and probably has re-assumed that trade, the nail of her right thumb bends inward, with a scar on the inside of the
upper part of the thumb, which is contracted, owing, as she
says, to a whitlow; she was marked SS, heart between, high
on both shoulders, but it is likely that the marks are worn out
or defaced by her. She has been frequently seen at Goulburn’s
estate, in Vere, where it is supposed she is harboured, as she is
well known among the negroes on that estate, having formerly
nursed a child of the family of the Goulburn’s; she has also
been seen often at a Mrs. Goulburn’s, near Milk-River, and
probably shews a forged manumission.
Whoever will secure the said negro woman Grace, and lodge
her in Kingston, St. Andrew’s, or Spanish-Town Workhouse,
or deliver her to the subscriber, at his Majesty’s Printing-Office,
shall receive the above reward; and, whoever will prove
to conviction by whom she is harboured shall receive Twenty
Pounds reward.
When she is in Spanish-Town, where she sometimes goes, she
stays at the house of a free woman of colour, with her mother,
named Lettice, an old negro woman, who has been harboured
in that town many years past; and whoever will prove to
conviction the harbouring of Lettice shall also receive Twenty
Pounds reward.
N. B. The above negro woman has been frequently advertised.
