Kingston, March 2, 1805.
RAN AWAY from Birnam-Wood plantation, in the parish of
St. George, on the 13th of January last, a negro man, named
THOMAS, of the Coromantee country, has a very sulky down
look, is stout made, and of a dark complexion. He formerly
belonged to the late Archibald C. Smith, Esq. and is supposed
to be marked with his initials. It is conjectured that he is harboured
about Port-Royal.
Also, on the 11th of February last, JOE, a Nago, five feet ten or
eleven inches high, stout made, and a little knock-knee’d. He also formerly belonged to Mr. Smith, and is likewise supposed
to be marked with his initials. He has his country marks about
his face, and the scar of a recent sore on one of his legs. He
may probably be harboured about the plantation of his former
master.
One Pistole reward will be given to any person on lodging
either of the above negroes in any workhouse, or bringing
them to the overseer on the above plantation, or to his Majesty’s
Printing-Office in this city.
