Royal Gazette 1817 August 14

 
For Sale - the Water-Lot, No. 1, in Werk en Rust, next the Premises of Messers. [sic] M'Inroy, Sandbach, & Co.
Also, a Family of Negroes, viz. Sophia, a complete washer, &c.; Mary and her mulatto child, a house servant and complete seamstress; Louisa, a house servant, washer, &c.; Ned, 12 or 14 years of age, has been at the carpenter's trade about three years. These people are sold for no fault, the owner having no use for so many domestics. If not sold at private sale, will be sold at Vendue as soon as a good opportunity offers. Sophia, the mother of these negroes, is an African, and her children creoles of this colony.

Colony-House, August 14.

Absconded from the Undersigned, on the 5th instant, the well-known negro woman Catharina, formerly the property of Miss Kitty Otto, and having a number of acquaintances on plantations La Grange and Malgretout, also at plantation Anna Catharina situated in Canal No. 1, where she has a husband, and at plantation Henry - it is supposed she is at present at one of those Estates. The gentlemen are therefore requested to make the necessary enquiries relating to said woman, and the customary reward will be given for her apprehension; but if she returns on her own accord, she will be forgiven and have the liberty of seeking a new owner. The above-named woman, who calls herself Quashiba, is well known about town, as she has been in the habit of selling cakes. All persons are cautioned against harbouring the said slave, and all masters of vessels against taking her off.
August 13. Eliza Baum.
