Ran-Away,
FROM the subscriber, about three weeks ago, two NEGRO
WENCHES, named BETTY & NANCY: Betty was purchased
about two years ago, from Messrs. Wm. Holmes & Co. as the
property of Mr. William Rutledge; she is pitted with the small
pox, 23 [inc] or 25 [inc] years of age, and five feet two or three
inches high, Nancy was purchased from Messrs. Scot & Campbell,
29th of last March; she belonged formerly to the Miss
Coxe’s, on White-Point, and has some relations at Mr. Bennett’s
plantation, on [inc]-Island, where she may be harboured;
she is a stout likely Wench, about five feet six or seven inches
high and of a very black complexion.
Thirty Dollars Reward will be given for each, on conviction
of their being harboured by a white person, and Fifteen if by
