RUN AWAY about a Month ago, from Mr. MAZYCK's Plantation; on Santee, Two young NEGRO FELLOWS,
Named SAUL and JACK: The First is a Carpenter by Trade, about Five Feet and an Half high, and is very smart and sensible; Jack was not bred to any Trade, is about Five Feet five Inches high, and very sensible and knowing. They are both stout well-made Fellows, and had heavy Irons on their Legs when they went away. They made their Escape in a large Canow belonging to Mr. JONAH COLLINS, and are supposed to be gone Inland for Georgia; they also took with them a Quantity of Carpenter’s Tools. Whoever will deliver them to the Warden of the Work-House in
Charles-Town, or to Mr. JOHN RANTOWLE, in Elliott-Street, shall receive TEN POUNDS Currency Reward for each, and all reasonable Charges paid.
N.B. They were formerly Free, and are well known in Georgia by the Names of Saul and John Winners. They were born in Bermuda, and may probably attempt to get a Passage
thither.
August 20th, 1773.
