27 MAY 1859 : Memphis Daily Appeal

$100 REWARD.

I WILL pay a reward of fifty dollars for the apprehension and delivery to me of the NEGRO MAN NED, formerly owned by Mrs. Tucker. He is described as being of a dark brown color, about forty-five or fifty years old, and as being smart and sly. He has worked about the city, and may be still lurking around; but it is more probable that he has gone off, perhaps to a free State in company with JOHN, who belongs to the same estate. John has a wife on Col. Geo. W. Smith’s plantation on the Arkansas river. The executor offers fifty dollars reward for John. One hundred will be paid for both, or fifty for either.

J.H. UNTHANK
Attorney in fact for Mrs. M. Blount Williams
