A stout well made Negro Fellow named BOB, about 28 years of age, 5 feet
8 or 9 inches high, this country born, rather bowlegged, sensible and
artful, speaks quick, and sometimes stutters a little; HE MAY POSSIBLY
HAVE A TICKET THAT I GAVE HIM TWO DAYS BEFORE HE WENT AWAY, DATED THE
6TH OF APRIL, MENTIONING HE WAS IN QUEST OF A RUNAWAY, AS I DID NOT
MENTION WHEN HE WAS TO RETURN, HE MAY ENDEAVOUR TO PASS BY THAT; he was
seen on the road towards Goose Creek, where he has relations at Mr. John
Parkers, and at Cane Acre, at Mr. John Gough's, at either or both places
he may be harboured, or in Charleston at Mr. Benjamin Villepontour's,
where he formerly had a wife. The above reward will be given and all
reasonable charges paid on his being delivered in St. Stephens Parish to
Thomas Cooper.
