Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

Absconded, FROM the Subscriber, in July last, a LIKELY NEGRO WENCH, called DOLLY, of a yellowish complexion, tall and slim ; she generally dresses very neatly, and speaks pretty good English for one of her colour ; she is a native of South-Carolina and is about 32 years of age – she belonged to the late James H. Thomson, in his life time, and ever since his death, has continued to belong to his Representatives. It is supposed she is harbored by a connection in or near Beaufort, or by a white man in Savannah, as it is said she has been seen in both those places.
