Thurs. Dec. 2, 1802 Wilmington Gazette December 2, 1802
NORTH CAROLINA
Duplin County
Taken up and committed to jail in this county, a Negro man named ROGER,
about 40 or 45 years old. He was some time ago carried to the state of South
Carolina, by a MR. JOHN HUNTER of the county aforesaid. ROGER confesses that
he made his escape from South Carolina and returned to this state; and says he
does not know his right owner, as he master died a few days before he came
way. The person to whom he belongs is therefore requested to come forward,
prove property, pay charges and take him away.
HUGH McCANNE, Sheriff
