Identified to the estate of Colonel Nicholas Goldsborough VI (1787-1857), his son Nicholas Goldsborough VII (1829-1891), and his son Matthew Tilghman Goldsborough (1812-1861), the administrator of the estate. The 1850 Federal Slave Schedule indicates that the Goldsborough family enslaved over 75 individuals in the Easton District of Talbot County, Maryland. Nicholas Goldsborough II (1662-1705) immigrated from England to Maryland in about 1679.

The broadside, illustrated with vignettes of both a man and a woman, offers a hefty $1,200 reward, or $200 for each adult, for the return of seven self-emancipated formerly enslaved individuals: Allen Davidson (about 28), "Sylla, or Priscilla" (about 30 to 35) with an infant (about 6 or 8 months old), twin brothers Bob and Perry Davidson (20), Horace Davidson (18), Charles Davidson (15 or 16). A physical description is also listed for each.
