April
1826:
Ally escapes with her child from Montgomery County,
Maryland
Two
Hundred Dollars
Reward.
Ran away from the subscriber, living near Rockville, Montgomery County,
Maryland, on the 3rd day of April, 1826, a mulatto negro woman, rather
dark, named Ally, about five feet four or five inches high, from 35 to
40 years of age, tolerably stout and well proportioned, her hair, when
neatly combed, is much straighter than any one would suppose from her color;
her hair, when she left home, was tolerably long.
She
has, on one side of her neck, (perhaps on teh right side) several white
spots resembling that of a scald or burn, but has not been occasioned
from any such circumstance--it is the order of nature; her clothing
unknown. She has probably changed her name, and will disclaim having
a master--it is probable she has with her a child--it is presumable
she has obtained a free pass from some person or other.
I
will give for the apprehending and securing the above named negro woman,
in any Jail in the United States, so that I get her again, 150 dollars,
and, if brought home, all the above reward of $200.
Perry
Wade.
