Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

Vere, December 3, 1810. FOUR DOUBLOONS REWARD. RANAWAY, since the 12th of August, a young creole man, named RODNEY, marked B, very large, on his right shoulder, about 5 feet 6 ½ inches high, of a jetting skin, wanting one or two of his fore teeth: the said negro belonged to Thomas Biggs, deceased, of Carpenter’s Mountains, and sold at a marshal’s sale, for debts –it is supposed he is harboured on some of the settlements in Carpenter’s Mountains.
