RAN away from my Plantation at Ashepoo joining the Fish Pond Bridge, the two following NEGROES, viz.
JACOB, of a yellowish Complexion, about five Feet nine or ten Inches high; he is a Carpenter by Trade, and a Native of this Province. It is most probable he is somewhere about Jacksonborough, near which Place he has lived for ten or twelve years past, where he has a very general acquaintance, and was but lately removed from thence, The other is a tall stout black Fellow named MONDAY, about six Feet high, has been in the Province five or six Years, but of what Country originally is not known; he was lately the Property of Mr. John Miller of by whom he was purchased a new Negro, and with whom he lived until about eighteen Months ago, when he was purchased at one of the Provost-Marshal's Sales, to which Part of the Country it is most natural to suppose he is returned. Whoever will apprehend either or both of the said Negroes and deliver them or either of them to me or the Warden of the Work-house in Charlestown, or to my Overseer at Ashepoo, shall receive a Reward of TEN POUNDS for each of them.

JOHN MATHEWS.
