Eight Dollars Reward. RUN AWAY from my plantation on Skidaway, A NEGRO MAN, named JACK, about 40 years of age, and about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, a Creole born, and speaks indifferent English: He is a carpenter by trade, and is well known in Savannah, where he worked all the last year; and as he is a tolerably good seaman, he will probably endeavor, by some means or other, to enter himself on ship-board, in order to get to Charleston, where he has connexions. All Masters of vessels and Patroons of boats are therefore hereby forewarned from carrying him off, as they shall answer for such trespass. The above reward will be paid to any person who will eliver him to the Kepper of the gaol in Savannah, by SETH JNo. CUTHBERT. 21st June, 1785.
