TWO HUNDRED DOLLAR REWARD
Run
Away, in the Spring of last year from this place, a young fellow, the property
of the subscriber, named John, sometimes called JOHNSON, and calling himself at
times JOHN HILL, at other times JOHN HOWE. He is about 5 feet 3 inches
high 23 years old, of a dull copper colour, being the son of a mulatto and negro-his
features are generally ugly-he is civil in his manners and plausible in
conversation; he reads and perhaps writes a little-a cabinet maker by trade, but
has worked generally at the ______ of a Windsor chair maker-he is well
acquainted with the use of the Joiners tools and is a very ingenuous
mechanic. He probably went off in some vessel, but to what place is not
known. It is conjectured he may be found in some of the northern
seaports-The above reward will be paid to any person who will deliver said
fellow to the subscriber of to the jailor in this place.
