7 NOVEMBER 1834 : Randolph Recorder

RANAWAY

From the subscriber, living in Yazoo County, State of Mississippi, on the 10th of August 1834, three negro men, of the following description:

SAMSON, aged about 35 years, 6 feet high, has no fingers or thumb on the right hand, except the two middle fingers.

ISAAC, aged twenty-eight years, about 6 feet two inches high, and a little hard of hearing; he pretends to be a shoemaker by trade, and can make a very good shoe.

ARTHUR, is yellow complexioned, aged about 35 or 40 years, he is a little bald headed, has lost some of his fore teeth, and is bow legged.

I think the said negroes are endeavoring to make their way to Tennessee or Arkansas. I will give $50 for the apprehension of said negroes, or $100 for the delivery of them at home.
