Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

Ran-Away, On Sunday Morning last, the following NEGROES ; the Subscriber’s man JACOB, lately purchased of Mr. James Schaw ; he is 22 or 23 years of age, very black, short and stout made, country born and speaks plain and confidently ; had on when he went away, a brown cloth coatee, velveret pantaloons and jacket, but may very probably change them : it is supposed he will make for the country, as he said lately to have belonged to col. Wade Hampton, on the Congaree.
