(?) Reward. WENT off from Haddrel's Point in the night off the 19th or morning of the 20th of June, 1786, tThe following Negroes: Handy, Hammond, Will, Leicester, Cinne, Simon, Cudjoe, Yarmouth, October, Toby, Aaron , and Sam. Will is a carpenter, speaks remarkably through his nose. Leicester has crooked legs. They are in general able fellows; they went off in a canoe of Mrs. Barwick's, whch they stole from her landing. There is great reason to think they are on Skidaway island, as such a canoe has been found near Bowman's landing, and is now secured. There is also reason to believe that four of the said negroes were seen on Gen. M'Intosh's plantation. The above reward, and all charges, will be paid on delivery of each to the gaoler in Savannah, or at the Sugar-House in Charleston. JOHN BOWMAN. July 4, 1786.
