Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

Kingston, April 12, 1805. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, about six months ago, a Negro Girl, named MARIA, about five feet four or five inches high, rather stout made, of a very ill-favoured countenance, and was about six months pregnant when she decamped; the above negro Girl has very frequently absconded, and is well known about Kingston, Port-Royal, and Fort-Augusta, at which place she was last harboured, but upon being discovered by the Commanding Officer of that fort, she was delivered over to the subscriber. A reward of a Half-Johanna will be paid to any person who will lodge her in any gaol or workhouse in this island, or bring her to the subscriber.
