Ninety Dollars Reward.
ELOPED from the Hermitage on the 10th of this instant, the following Negroes, belonging formerly to John Burgwin, Esq. but they are now my property, viz.
ABRAM, a carpenter, who is well known in and about Wilmington as a a Fiddler; he took off with him his wife named HANNAH, about 34 years of age, and their daughter a likely young girl of about 15 years of age named JESSEE and two younger children, boys, named MARCUS and NEGER.
NED, a Blacksmith,a likely young fellow, about 22 years of age, is tall and slender made, and smooth faced, has a wife at Fayetteville, the property of Mrs. Vance, to which place it is probable he may bend his course.
JEM, a likely young fellow, about 26 years old, he has a wife the property of Mrs. M. Jones, in Wilmington named Grace, who will no doubt entertain him; also two of his brothers.
LONDON and ZEBB, the first is about 10, the other about 15 years of age, LONDON is a very smooth faced likely boy, ZEBB is rather awkward and scrawny.
JOHN, is a likely smooth faced young fellow, is tall and slender, and 22 years old, he was hired last year to Mrs. Halsey at Green Fields, and has a wife there named Amy, who I suppose will harbour him.
AJAX, an old lusty fellow, smooth faced, speaks plain and is upwards of 50 years old.
All the said Negroes (the last excepted) are young and likely, and all speak very plain English, and are extremely plausible in deception; Abram has a rupture, but is not withstanding active and strong.
Ten Dollars will be paid for each, to any person apprehending any of them, on their being delivered to John Lord, Esq. in Wilmington; or Ninety dollars for the whole in proportion, on being delivered as aforesaid or secured in any goal in this state so that the subscriber may have them.
