"$100 Reward.—Ran away from the subscriber, a bright mulatto man-slave, named Sam. Light sandy hair, blue eyes, ruddy complexion,—is so white as very easily to pass for a free white man.
Edwin Peck.
"Mobile, April 22, 1837."
"Ran away, on the 15th of May, from me, a negro woman, named Fanny. Said woman is 20 years old; is rather tall; can read and write, and so forge passes for herself. Carried away with her a pair of ear-rings,—a Bible with a red cover; is very pious. She prays a great deal, and was, as supposed, contented and happy. She is as white as most white women, with straight light hair, and blue eyes, and can pass herself for a white woman. I will give $500 for her apprehension and delivery to me. She is very intelligent.
John Balch.
"Tuscaloosa, May 29, 1845."
From the "Newbern (N.C.) Spectator:"
"$50 Reward will be given for the apprehension and delivery to me of the following slaves,—Samuel and Judy, his wife, with their four children, belonging to the estate of Sacker Dubberly, deceased.
"I will give $10 for the apprehension of William Dubberly, a slave belonging to the estate. William is about 19 years old, quite white, and would not readily be taken for a slave.
