Charles-Town, November 26, 1766 .
RUN-away yesterday, from my Schooner, lying at Burn's Wharf, a Negro fellow named ABRAHAM, by trade a bricklayer, belonging formerly to Mr. Tew , afterwards to Mrs. Saunders , and is now the property of JOSIAH TATNALL, Esq; of Georgia, whither I was about to carry him: Had on when he went away, a blue broad cloth coat and jacket, with metal buttons; striped trowsers, and silver buckles in his shoes.—On his right leg he had a large clog of iron, which had been but just put on, in order to prevent him from escaping, he being an old offender that way; as he was born in this Town, be is very well known, and it is supposed may be secreted by his relations. I hereby offer a reward of TEN POUNDS to any person that will bring him to me, or to the Warden of the Work-house; And I will give TWENTY POUNDS to whoever will discover where he is harboured or entertained, so that the offender may be convicted.
TUNIS TEBOUT.
