RAN AWAY from the subscriber some months ago, Seven Negroes, viz. A young fellow, named Byng, about 18 years of age, country born. A fellow, named Cork, about 30 years old. A yellow fellow, Stephen, about 25 years old, a carpenter. A likely fellow, named Lymus, remarkably active. A fellow, Titus. A wench, Sophy. A Negro fellow, named Sago, who is harboured somewhere on Ogeechee. And last week, a Waiting Boy, named Sancho, about 16 years of age, had on when he went away an oznabrig shirt and homespun trowsers. Whoever will take up the said Negroes, or any of them, and deliver them to me in Savannah, shall receive a guinea reward. All persons harbouring them will be prosecuted. THOMAS GIBBONS sen. August 31 [sic], 1780.
