Alley, Vere, Oct. 20, 1806.
BROUGHT home, by the subscriber’s boy, a Negro man, who
calls himself GEORGE, about twenty years old, 5 feet 2 inches
high, has no country or other marks. The account he gives of
himself is this: - That he is a Congo, and was purchased out
of a ship by a Mr. Cummins, who was a carpenter, and afterwards
a Book keeper on a sugar estate, and has since gone to
England; that he, (George) has been a runaway in Carpenter’s
mountains for two years, but on hearing of the Maroons being
in search of runaways, was induced to look for a master. The
owner may have him, on proving him his property, and paying
for this advertisement and other expences.
