Bridgetown, Cumberland county, New-Jersey, Aug. 26, 1782.
This day was committed to my custody the following Negroes,
viz. one who calls himself William Brown, and says that he
belonged to the General Monk, which was taken some months
past by the ship Hyder Ally, in Delaware, and that he has
since lived with one Whitehead Jones, at Hog-point, which
place he says he left about two weeks since: He is 5 feet 3
inches high, thick set, and says he is a great fidler; had
on an old wool hat, blue sailor's vest, with slash sleeves,
tow linen shirt and trowsers, and he talks tolerable good
English. The other says his name is Isaac Bull . . . [7
lines] Their masters (if any they have) are requested to
come within four weeks from the date hereof, pay their
charges, and take them away, otherwise they will be sold for
the same [signed] Nathan Johnson, Goaler.
