South Carolina

"Runaway last night about 11 or 12 midnight 3 negro men, a woman and her male child. .....
<snip>
... The wench named ARABELLA is very likely, short and slim, with a clear black skin and a good sett of teeth, a scar on the side of one of her hands, and a deep dimple in her chin.  Her child answers to the name of CASTILA, a smart looking boy about six years old, has a scar on his forehead.
<snip>
... As there is a small scooner or fishing boat missing this day, it is suspected they may have gone off in her, and as some other negroes are missing, among whom is a French or Spanish fellow, a fisherman, it is strongly suspected that they are gone to the Southward on their way to the Havanna.  Reward of 100 pounds offered by ELIAS VANDERHORST, June 27, 1768, CHARLES TOWN, S.C."
