Transcription
RUN AWAY from the subscriber about three weeks ago, a negro man, a carpenter by trade, well
known in Charles-Town, where he is supposed to be harboured, he having a wife there. The said
negro goes by the names of Nantz, Lance, and Anson, he formerly belonged to Mr. Henry
Christie, and lately to Mrs. Susannah Jones, from whom I bought him. Whoever apprehends and
delivers him to me, or the warden of the Work-House, shall have five pounds reward, and if
harboured or employed by any white person, I hereby offer a reward of fifty pounds currency to
whoever will prove the same, or ten pounds if harboured by a negro, or the sum of twenty-five
pounds for the head of the said run away slave. WILLIAM MATTHEWES.
