Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

Thirty Dollars Reward. ABSENTED himself from the subscriber’s plantation on Wondo, about the first of last month, a YOUNG MAN, named GEORGE, about 22 years of age, a likely fellow, near six feet high, of a yellow complexion, and is well known in town, having until lately lived with me as a house servant. All persons are forbid from harboring or carrying him off the state, for he will no doubt procure a forged pass and endeavor to pass for a free man.
