RUN AWAY from the subscriber's plantation in Prince William's parish, South Carolina, on the frist of this month, the following NEGROES, viz. Will, Kitty; Liddy, about eight years old, Chance, Sabina; and Tom, about 18 months old; Pope, (a carpenter) and his daughter, three years old; John, Lucy, Venus, Granville, Monteith, Mohamedy*, Pilip, and Henry. As these Negroes formerly belonged to John Graham, Esq. it is more than probable they will attempt to conceal themselves on or near Savannah river. A reward of two dollars per head will be paid to any person who will lodge them in the Work-House at Savannah, or three dollars a head on their delivery at the plantation of the subscriber near Combahee. GODIN GUERARD May 8, 1785. See also, MOHAMEY*, Appendix E, p. GOCIN GUERARD.
