This post is part of an ongoing project to record names of enslaved people of Greene County, Georgia I find in historical records.
The Temperance Banner, Penfield, Georgia, August 26, 1854
$250 Reward.
Ranaway from the Plantation of James Smith, about six miles South West of Greenesboro', on the 15th of April last, a Negro man, by the name of John,—about thirty-three years old, black complexion, stout built, and about six feet high. A scar over the left eye, and one on the corner of the right eye; rather slow spoken, and commonly wore a goatee. I will give the above reward for proof to conviction that John was enticed away by a white man; and $25 for the apprehension and confinement of said boy, so that I can get him again.
JOHN W. M'CRARY.
Aug. 26, 1854 33-tf
