One hundred Dollars Reward. RUN away from my plantation in St. John's Parish, the following Negroes,
HAMPSHIRE, a sensible, stout well-made black Fellow, a Carpenter by trade, and his wife SALLY, a short black Wench. MINGO, a tall, slim likely Fellow, a Cooper by Trade: Bob, a short, elderly Fellow, with his wife PHEBY.
