8 MARCH 1828 : Memphis Advocate

RANAWAY,

FROM the subscriber, living six miles south of Russelville, Alabama, a negro boy named
Orange,
about twenty-two years old, of a tolerable dark color, and of a sprightly countenance. Had on, when he left my house, a suit of mixed homespun, but has with him other clothing.
Also a likely bright mulatto girl, about 18 years old, named
Russa,
wife of said boy Orange. Said negroes are supposed to have been taken off by a person who calls himself Wm. M’Whorter. Any person delivering said negroes to me, or giving such information that I get them, shall be liberally rewarded.

BENJ. HARRIS
Russelville, Ala. Feb 22 1828.
