8 MARCH 1839 : Memphis Enquirer

$25 Reward

For QUICKSEL, who ranaway from my house about two weeks since, if taken out of my neighborhood, or ten dollars if taken within it. He is a stout black man, speaks soft, a pleasing countenance, and is likely passing himself for a free man and probably calls himself Cato. He went from this to Memphis. I will pay the above reward for him, confined in the county jail or delivered to me or my overseer, Shelby county, Tennessee.
