Early broadside offering a reward for two runaway slaves.The digitization of this collection was funded by a gift from EBSCO Industries.$25 REWARD.
Run Away on the 12th day of March last,
from the subscriber living in Monroe county east Tennessee, a
negro man named NED, of a very light complexion; remarkably
white or blue eyes ; about 5 feet high ; 23 or 24 years of age ;
weighs about 125 pounds ; slim, and has a very flat foot : had on
when he eloped a blue broadcloth coat, common white pan-
taloons, a chipped hat and various other clothing. He went off in
company with Jeremiah Lillard's negro FOUNTAIN, a dark mu-
latto boy 19 years old. They procured a canoe in Rhea county and
proceeded down the Tennessee river to Ross's, where they left the
canoe and directed their course over the Lookout Mountain to the
river, and again embarked in another canoe, keeping on the South
side of the river. The probability is that they are aiming for the
state of Illinois ; therefore the subscriber would beg Captains of
Steamboats, commanders of flat boats and all others, to keep a
look out for these runaways. The above reward will be paid if
delivered to the subscriber or secured in any jail so that I get them
again, and all reasonable expenses paid.
April 9th, 1833. ISAAC MURRAY.
P. S. Letters giving information of the above negroes may be forwarded to Florence A.
for the next 10 or 12 days, where he may remain for that length of time; after which, all
communications on the subject must be directed to Madisonville, Monroe county, East
Tennessee. ISAAC MURRAY.
