TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD
Ran away about the middle of September last, from the subscriber
living in Connelsville, Fayette county, Pa. a negro man named Pompey,
a slave for life, about fifty years of age, five feet six inches high,
very dark, small featured, bald head, active, much addicted to
drunkenness and impudent when in that state--has formerly resided in
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and affects to speak French. Took with
him a black cloth coat, a lindsey coatee, one pair blue cloth
pantaloons, one pair dimitty do and sundry other wearing apparel.
Whoever apprehends and secures the said negro so that the subscriber
may get him again, shall receive the above reward and reasonable
charges if returned.
JOHN CAMPBELL.
TAKE WARNING.
FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.
Ran away from the subscriber, on Saturday the 2nd day of March last, a
Negro Man named Jim, about 23 years of age, about 5 feet 10 inches
high, somewhat slender and not very black, about a chestnut colour,
has a small scar on one of his cheeks, I believe the right, the scar
appears to have been made with a knife when small, and is about one
inch long, just above the cheek bone. Whoever will apprehend said
Negro and confine him in any jail in the state of Pennsylvania or
Ohio, so that I may get him, shall have the above reward--and this is
to forewarn all persons from hiring or harbouring said Negro, under
the penalty of their lives, for after this notice, I am determined to
kill any man that I find him in the possession of, without he first
ascertains that he is legally free, and I hope all persons will be
cautious how they hire slaves.
HEZEKIAH CONN.
N.B. If the above described Negro is apprehended and put in jail, a
letter to me at Frontroyal, Fredrick county, Virginia, will be
immediately attended to.
SIX CENTS REWARD.
