Friendship, St. Elizabeth,
Dec. 10, 1805.
ABSCONDED from the above property, in July, 1800, a negro
man, named CAESAR, about thirty-five years of age, yellowish
complexion, slim made, paddle footed, low stature,
without any brand-mark, a creole; he and his brother Quaw
went away from this parish to Hanover with a gang of masons,
belonging to Messrs. Samuels & Miller, some of whom
are their relations; Quaw quarrelled with Mr. Miller’s wench
Abigail, for which he was sent to the workhouse, and that was
the means of his being recovered; but he insists that his brother
CAESAR, is still at or near Mr.Miller’s, and that his watchman
in his plantain walk, named Old Caesar, can furnish the necessary
information whenever he pleases: I therefore give will a
reward of Twenty Pounds Cash to any person who will secure
said negro in any gaol, workhouse, or private bilboes; and a further sum of Fifty Pounds to any person proving to conviction
by whom he has been harboured or employed.
