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. A
reward of Ten Dollars and all reasonable [pas expences] shall
be paid to any one who will deliver her to the subscriber, or to
the keeper of the Work-House in Charleston, or lodge her in
any gaol in South-Carolina, Georgia, or elsewhere, where the
subscriber may get her. All Masters of Vessels and others are
cautioned against receiving or removing her.
Joshua Player.
