Run away, from the Subscriber about 12 months ago, a [creole] Negro woman named MARGARET. She is about 5 ft. 8 in. high, and pitted with the smallpox. She went off with a Negro fellow [MAN], her husband, a carpenter by trade, and are both Americans born. She may endeavour to pass for a free woman, as she has in her possession an American Ticket. Whoever takes up said wench and secures her, so that I may recover her, shall be entitled to a reward of ten Pounds. JAMES JACKS.
