Absented Himself, on the 14th ult.
FROM the subscriber’s plantation, a NEGRO FELLOW, named
CHARLES, about 25 years of age, stout and well made,
but much against him, having a down look and sulkey countenance;
formerly the property of Josiah Rivers, esq. deceased, and now my property. As there will be no occasion for the
describing of his dress, as the fellow Charles has a wife living
on the said island, the property of Mr. Norward Witter, and
most likely will be harbored by her. A reward of Ten Dollars,
to secure him in the Work-House, of Charleston, or to me; I
therefore forewarn any person to employ or carry off the said
fellow. A reward of Forty Dollars if it can be proved being harbored
by a white person or Twenty Dollars by a black, as I an
determined to prosecute as far as the law will admit.
Benjamin Harvey.
