Transcription

RUN away about a month ago, and have since been seen beyond Ponpon, supposed to be gone towards Indian Land or Georgia, two sensible young Carolina-born negroes, viz. QUACO, about 20 years of age, a small limb'd fellow, without a beard, had on or carried with him, a white negro cloth, robbin, a pair of leather Breeches, another of Osnabrugs, and a white shirt, and has since called himself Sam. SARY, about 17 years of age, a likely yellowish wench, a good seamstress, and has since called herself Sally: She carried away, or had on, an Osnabrugs shift, a white Joseph, a white hankerchief about her head, a striped petticoat, one of Osnabrugs, and one of purple dyed wollen. They travelled together, and may change their dress as well as names. Whoever delivers them to the Warden of the Work-House in Charles-Town, to the subscriber at Long-Savannah, or gives such information of them that they may be found and taken, shall be suitably rewarded.
