The following NEGROES have absented themselves from the Subscriber's plantation on the Congaree since the 15th of June last viz. Cuffee, a fellow about 30 years old, well made; George, a young fellow about 20 years olf; Sam an old fellow, father to George; Peter, a stout young fellow; Ned a boy about 12 years old. These 5 negroes were bought of James Brisbane Esq; and came from his plantation near Savannah River, where it is probable some of them are gone. Bru, a stout made fellow, a sawyer, about 30 years olf, formerly belonged to Alexander Wyley, Esq; and worked a long time within 7 miles of Savannah on said Wyley's plantation on the river; Jemmy, a stout well made fellow, a carpenter, about 35 years old, formerly belonged to Thomas Lambull Esq Juliet his wife, a small yellow wnch, whome he took along with him, she speaks bad English; Moses a very tall fellow, upwarss of six feet high, ver black, he latel lived with Mr. Samuel Douglass in Georgia; Joberg, a carpenter; China an ordinary fellow, about 30 years old, much ________, used to live at Mr. Douglass's in Georgia; Achilles, a stout fellow, about forty years old, formerly the property of Alexander Wyley Esq; a very good sawyer. Sampson a stout young fellow, a plowman, and waggoner about 20 years old; he lived last upon Peedee-river with Mr. Thomas Lord; Ramsey, a boy about 15 years old used to take care of my horses in town; Serra, a boy about 12 years old, remarkable _______ a long visage; Titus, a boy about the same age, lately lived with Mr. John Lord at his plantation in Amelia Township. As several of the above neroes have been enticed away from their real owner by sundry white people under a pretense of being made free as they must before this time have found themselves imposed upon, I promise that if any of them return home on their accord they sall be forgiven; and those who are near town may call on Mr. William Greenwood in Charlestown, for a pass to my plantation. Any person who will give such information of the above negroes, so as they may be had again shall receive TWO GUINEAS reward for each negro.
ANDREW LORD.
