May
1836:
Archy Shaw escapes from Otho Beall in Prince George's County, Maryland
One
Hundred
Dollars
Reward.
Ran away from the subscriber, living near Upper Marlborough, Prince George's
County, Maryland, on Monday, the 2d day of May, a mulatto man who calls
himself Archy Shaw.
Archy
is 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, a dark mulatto, rather a copper color,
full eyes and red, quite spare made, full head of hair, his teeth not
sound.
I
will give forty dollars for the apprehension of Archy, if caught in
the District of Columbia, one hundred dollars if he is taken in Baltimore
or any free State.
Otho
B. Beall.
