Fifteen Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY from my plantation, about the beginning of
June, two NEGROES, PRIMUS and NELLY ; Primus is a
stout made fellow, this country born, about 35 years of age,
is very artfull, calls himself Pompky Jinkins, is well known
about this city, has a wife at the Rev. Mr. Mills, Cannonsburgh,
and one in Meeting-street ; has a brother belonging to Mr. Caper’s,
Cain-Hoy, he has a smiling look, and when frightened
stammers. Nelly is a small elderly wench, was purchased some
time since of Messrs. Hart, Stewart & Co. as the property of
Mr. Levy, had a husband at Mr. Patrick Mair’s, she wears her
head handkerchief tied low to her eye-brows and is of the Guinea
country. The above reward will be paid for delivering them
to JOHN BROWNE, on the plantation, or to the Master of the
Work-House ; or Ten Dollars for Primus, and Five Dollars for
Nelly.
All persons are hereby forbid harboring, employing or carrying
them off the state, under penalty of the law.
S. E. McDonald.
N. B. If they return to their duty, they will be pardoned. Primus
worked last year at Hob-Caw, and probably may be skulking
in that neighborhood.
