Spanish-Town, June 30, 1809.
RANAWAY, from the subscriber, the following Negroes, and
a reward of Half-a-Joe will be paid for each, to any person
or persons who may apprehend all, or either, and lodge them
in any workhouse of this island; and Ten Pounds reward will
be paid to any person who will prove to conviction by whom
either of them is harboured.
TONEY, from Dover Castle estate, St. Thomas in the Vale; a
noted runaway, about 5 feet 6 inches, not very stout, a creole,
supposed to be harboured on some of the properties in the neighbourhood.
CATO, a young creole, from Dover Castle, about 16 years old,
a noted runaway; is generally about the neighbouring negro
grounds; about 5 feet 8; healthy looking.
DANIEL, an old negro, ranaway from Dover Castle about six
months ago; a noted runaway, has a sore leg; he is an American
negro, very chatty; has a long beard, and very badly clothed.
QUASHIE, a carpenter, was hired to Mr. Packer, of this town,
some time ago; he calls himself Brown, and attempted to pass
himself as a free man; and has threatened Obea to intimidate
any from discovering where he is. He is said to be harboured
at a negro yard in this town, near the old poor house, which
is tenanted by Fanny Blackburn, a brown woman; he is about
5 feet 6 or 8 inches, and well proportioned, a creole, speaks
very good English. This fellow has been away upwards of two
years: it is said he works at his trade about Tackey’s Bridge,
and is frequently seen in the market, but the negroes who know
him are afraid to apprehend him, as he generally goes armed
with a cutlass.
