Three Hundred Dollars Reward.
I WILL give the above Reward, and pay all reasonable charges,
upon proof to conviction of the scoundrel, (provided he
has any property to pay the damages) who has at any time
since the 14th October last, harbored or concealed Six of my
Negroes, which were inveigled away about that time ; or who
will secure them in any jail in this or the neighbouring states,
on such information as will enable me to taken them.
JACK, about 28 years old, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, very
black, strait and rather slender made ; clothed in a blue jacket
and trowsers ; looks sulkey when spoken to, and is a sailor.
MARMEDY, about 25 years old, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, with
one of his feet and ancles much larger than the other, and is a
sawyer by trade.
CHARLOTTE, a stout well made Wench, about 16 or 17 years
old, has an impediment in her speech, and a seamstress.
LEAR, a tall, slender, well looking Wench, about 22 years old,
and is a washer.
NANCY, about 22 years old, yellowish complexion, with her
mulatto boy child, named Henry, about two years old. CHARLES, about 10 or 12 years old, with very thick lips.
I have reason to believe they were all confined in irons, in a
house in King-street, nearly opposite Dr. Moore’s, until about
the 25th Dec. last, when they were removed into the country.
All of them, except one, which I purchased in this city, are
African, which I imported myself ; and they are neither on
mortgage, nor have ever been transferred, sold or made over in
any manner whatsoever, to any person, either male or female.
Thomas Vincent.
