Run away about a Month ago, from the plantation of Mr. William Townsend on John's Island, a negro fellow named Jack, a carpenter by trade; he is well known on the Ashley River and in Charles Town. Whoever will bring him to me, or to the Work House, shall have 5 1 reward; But whoever will give information of his being harboured or entertained by any white person, shall have 20 1. paid them on proving the same, and if harboured by a negro, they shall have 5 1. from
Solomon Milner
