Whalen - 1809 - Runaway

FYI, to use as you wish - In old family stuff, I found this notice:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Runaway Negro.

Ran Away From the subscriber on the night of the 11th inst. a Negro man, JACK, About five feet eight or nine inches high; stout, thick set, and well made.

Had on, when he went away, a black Nap't Hat; a butter-nut colour Sailor Coat; had a small pack or bundle of clothes with him.

Any person who will secure said Negro in some gaol, or return him, shall be handsomely rewarded, and all reasonable charges paid, by the subscriber.

Abel Whalen.

Milton, 13th June, 1809.
