Run away from the subscriber the 9th inst., a negro man slave named Will
about 40 years of age 5 feet 8 or 10 inches high; has two remarkable scars
on his breast and is much scarified about the neck and throat, caused by a
disorder he was cured of some years ago; CAN READ A LITTLE, and a very
dissembling fellow. He took with him sundry cloaths, among which are a blue
cotton coat, with metal buttons, a striped jacket, a pair of blue cotton,
and a pair of corduroy breeches. It is probable he will endeavor to pass
for a freeman, and try to get on board some vessel; all masters of vessels
are hereby forewarned from carrying him off. Whoever will deliver the said
slave to me in Southampton county, near South Quay, or secure him in any
gaol, so that I get him again, shall receive the above reward.
