St. Thomas in the East, Oct. 4, 1809.
RANAWAY, about six weeks ago, a Negro Man, of the Angola
country, named THOMAS, 5 feet 6 inches, slim made, yellow
complexion, rather high cheek bones, and appears to be about
21 or 22 years of age; has a brand mark on his right arm, but
not plain, and had some marks of yaws on his forehead when
he went away. He was sold out of the Workhouse of this parish on the 3d July, and reported himself to belong to the estate of
a Mr. Smith, dec. who had resided on Holland estate, in St.
Elizabeth, to which place it is likely he may have returned,
to secret hinself among his old acquaintances. A reward of a
Doubloon will be paid to any person lodging him in any gaol
or workhouse, on giving notice thereof to the subscriber l and
a further reward of Two Doubloons on proving to conviction
his being harboured.
