Peter, a mustee short squat fellow, with black curl’d hair. Ishmael, Caesar, Cuffee, and Sampit, all of a middle stature, and speak plain English. The two first have been seen in Charles Town since they ran away. Any person, white or black, that will apprehend the said run aways, and deliver them, or either of them, to James Welsh overseer at the said plantation, to the warden of the work house, or to the subscriber in Charlestown, shall receive for the first named in the advertisement seven pounds, and for all or either of the five last mentioned five pounds current money each.
William Pinckney.
