On the 25th ultimo, from the subscriber, living near Culpepper Court-house,
_A Negro Man_ named _JACK_, about 30 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches
high, very muscular, full faced, wide nostrils, large eyes, a down look,
speaks slowly and wore his hair cued; had on when he eloped, a white shirt,
grey broad cloth coat, mixed cassimere waistcoat and breeches, a brown hat,
faced underneath with green, and a pair of boots. He formerly belonged to
Mr. _Augustin Baughan_, of Fredericksburg, now of Baltimore, and I am told
was seen making for Alexandria, with the intention of taking the stage
thither: HE IS ARTFUL CAN BOTH READ AND WRITE AND IS A GOOD FIDDLER; it is
therefore probable that he may attempt a forgery and pass as a free man. He
is most commonly known by the name of _Jack Taylor_, was originally from
Essex County, has a father living there, and it is said he has a wife, the
property of Mrs. Dalrymple of Dumfries. Whoever secures him in any jail so
that I get him again shall have Ten Dollars Reward, and if taken above
sixty and not more than one hundred miles distant, and brought home, shall
receive Twelve Dollars, and for any greater distance, Fifteen Dollars, with
all reasonable expenses borne. Masters of Vessels and stage drivers are
forewarned carrying him out of the State, under penalty of the law.
