RAN-AWAY,
FROM the subscriber, the 26th ult. a NEGRO FELLOW, named
HERCULES, about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, about 35
years old, of a dark complexion, and when spoken to has a
wildness in his looks; he was bought about 5 years ago from
Mr. John Davidson, jun. and formerly belonged to the estate
of Mr. John Huger; when he went away he had on a full suit
of white negro cloth, but has taken with him other cloaths and
may change his dress; he has connections at Mr. William Somersall’s
plantation at Combahee; there is every reason to suppose
he is gone that way.
A reward of Twenty Dollars will be paid on his being lodged
in the work house in Charleston, or delivering him to the subscriber,
on Edisto island. All masters of vessels are cautioned
against taking the said fellow out of the state, as the law will
be strictly enforced.
Benjamin Seabrook.
