Alley, Vere, Oct. 20, 1806. BROUGHT home, by the subscriber’s boy, a Negro man, who calls himself GEORGE, about twenty years old, 5 feet 2 inches high, has no country or other marks. The account he gives of himself is this: - That he is a Congo, and was purchased out of a ship by a Mr. Cummins, who was a carpenter, and afterwards a Book keeper on a sugar estate, and has since gone to England; that he, (George) has been a runaway in Carpenter’s mountains for two years, but on hearing of the Maroons being in search of runaways, was induced to look for a master. The owner may have him, on proving him his property, and paying for this advertisement and other expences. A. KEMP.
