3 MAY 1839 : Memphis Enquirer

$25 Reward.

RUNAWAY from the subscriber on the night of the 13th of February last, a dark girl, named Martha, about 17 years of age, speaks fluently when spoken to, but easily confused in conversing with her. She carried off a variety of clothing not recollected. I have no doubt but that she is lurking about this place. The above reward will be paid for said girl if taken out of the county, and delivered to me in this place, or secured in any jail so that I get her again, or ten dollars if taken in the county.

WM. A. JONES
