Raleigh Minerva 1817
Friday, March 14, 1817, Raleigh Minerva
THE JERNIGANS - These malefactors, as I am informed by a respectable 
gentleman, broke thro' the Waynesboro prison on Friday night last, and made 
their escape. It is to be hoped the utmost vigilance of the community may be 
employed in arresting the fugitives; as they are believed to be villains of 
the most abandoned characters.

$400 REWARD
Broke Jail on the night of the 7th instant, two prisoners BARNA and LOVET 
JERNIGAN. The former was convicted in Wayne Superior Court, Fall Term 1816 of 
Grand Larceny; the latter stands charged with the same crime -
   BARNA is about five feet eight or nine inches high, red complexion, light 
hair, thin visage at present, gray eyes, quick-spoken, and very artful;
   LOVET is about five feet three or four inches high, of a light complexion, 
light hair, blue eyes, slow-spoken. They have been confined in Raleigh and 
Wayne prisons about 11 months with fetters on their wrists and ankles. I will 
give a reward of one hundred dollars for BARNA and fifty dollars for LOVET to 
any person who will deliver them or either of them to me in Waynesboro These 
fellows no doubt will disguise themselves, so as not to answer the proper 
description.
March 8, 1817               WM. RAIFORD, Sheriff

N. B. I will give $200 additional reward for BARNA JERNIGAN and $50 in 
addition for the apprehension of LOVET JERNIGAN; so that they may be brought 
to justice in any part of the world.
Wayne, March 12, 1817               LEWIS COOR PENDER
