Ran-Away
FROM the Subscriber, about three weeks ago, two NEGRO
WENCHES, named BETTY & NANCY : Betty was purchased
about two years ago, from Messrs. William Holmes & Co. as
the property of Mr. William Rutledge ; she is pitted with the
small-pox, 23 or 24 years of age, 5 feet 2 or 3 inches high.
Nancy was purchased from Messrs. Scot & Campbell, on the
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 James’s-Island, where she may be harbored ; she is
a stout likely wench, about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high and of a
very black complexion. Thirty Dollars reward will be given
for each, on conviction of their being harbored by a white person,
and Fifteen by a black, and Five for lodging of each in the
work-house.
William Chisholm.
N. B. Masters of vessels and others are cautioned not to carry
them off of the state, as they will be prosecuted.
