ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD, Will be paid to any person who will apprehend and deliver to me, my Negro Man ISHMAEL, with suf cient proof of his being harbored by any person white or black, or Fifty Dollars for putting the said Ishmael into my custody, or securing him in the gaol of Coosawatchie or Savannah, so that I can get him. Ishmael has been runaway near three years, and I have much reason to believe that he has been harbored by his wife, or some other of his connections belonging to Mr. Jacob Guirard, at one of his plantations at Bee’s Creek, or Hooper Creek.
