$100 REWARD.--Ran away from the subscriber, on the 7th of
November, negro slave, EDGAR. He is 36 years old, 6 feet high,
of dark brown complexion, very high forehead, is a little bald,
and is inclined to stoop in the shoulders. Edgar says he was
raised in Norfolk county, has worked about Norfolk several
years. I bought him at the Auction house of Messrs. Pulham &
Davis, the 20th of July, 1856. The bill of sale was signed by
W.Y. Milmer for Jas. A. Bilisoly, administrator of G.W.
Chambers, dec'd. He told one of my negroes he was going to
Norfolk to sell some plunder he had there, then go to Richmond,
steal his wife, get on board a boat about Norfolk, and go to a
free State. He can read and write well, and I have no doubt he
has provided himself with papers of some kind. He may have
purchased the papers of some free negro. I will give the above
reward of One Hundred Dollars to any person who will arrest and
confine him, so I can get him.
