- A very short advertisement offering a reward for the capture of an enslaved person who had run away from the Gelzer plantation. His name was Febry and around 22 years old at the time, so born c. 1833. He may have been born in Jefferson County, Florida or Charleston, South Carolina (where the family relocated from sometime in the 1830s).
