Twenty Dollars Reward.
ABSCONDED from the Subscriber, on the 2nd inst. a Negro
Lad, named PETER, about nineteen years old, tall and rather
slender, likely, straight and well made, his complexion is not
very black, his head is rather small and his teeth very white;
he generally wears a ring in one of his ears, both of which
are believed to be bored; he took with him several articles of
cloathing, among which were a short blue jacket with sleeves, a red waistcoat and blue pantaloons, a blue surtout with a red
cape, and a glazed hat. He was purchased nearly four years
since, at the sale of the property of the late Mr. Jacob Jacobs,
of Charleston, previously to which time, he had always lived
in that place. It is supposed he may have gone to Charleston,
where he has a father and mother; but as he is generally a well
disposed servant, and has gone off without any known cause,
it is suspected he has been seduced from his duty by a young
Negro fellow called HENRY, belonging to Mr. John Simons,
of Georgetown, with which fellow Peter went away.
HENRY, is tall, well made, about 21 years old, his complexion
yellow, his visage sharp, he is very artful, and well acquainted
with the road to North Carolina, to which place it is probable
they may attempt to escape.
Whoever will deliver PETER to the subscriber in Georgetown,
or secure him in the gaol of Charleston, shall receive the above
reward, and payment of all reasonable expences.
John Keith.
