RAN away from the plantation of William Allston, Esq, on Pedee, March 12th 1764, two negro men, Carolina born, one named JOE, middle sized, yellowish complexion, stutters much, and pretends to be free; the other named PETER, very likely and round faced, complexion very black; both very good sawyers and boatmen, and used to the management of horses and cattle. Information has been received that they went first. to the back settlements, and are supposed to have gone from thence to St. Augustine, Twenty Dollars reward, besides all reasonable charges will be paid for each, if delivered to the warden of the workhouse, or Mr. John Forbes, Merchant in Charles-Town; and Fifty Dollars for discovery of any white person's harbouring them, to be paid on conviction of the offender.
