Ran away on the 20th instant, from the subscriber, living in Patapsco Neck,
a NEGRO MAN named SALISBURY, but may assume some other name; he is about 21
years of age; 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, stout and well made, has a smiling
countenance and very thick lips; he has lately been under the doctor's
hands for a sore on his right arm, which he generally carries in his bosom:
Had on and took with him a blue broadcloth coat with yellow buttons, a
fustian jacket, a red and white striped do., a coarse and white country
cloth upper-jacket, and breeches, a pair of nankeen do., a white shirt and
an oznaburg do., with a pair of good shoes. AS I EXPECT HE HAS A SUM OF
MONEY WITH HIM, PROBABLY HE MAY GET SOME ONE TO FORGE A PASS FOR HIM, AND
PASS AS A FREE MAN. Whoever takes up said NEGRO and secures him in any
Gaol, so that I may get him again, shall have the above reward, and
reasonable charges, if brought home, paid by
Robuck Lynch.
N.B. All masters of vessels, and others, are forewarned at their peril not
to harbour or conceal said Negro.

Ran away from the subscriber living in Annapolis, on the 24th of May, a
Negro man named Willis Bowzer, about thirty-four years of age, a full
faced well looking fellow, who had the small pox in March last, and is
much marked with it, he is very remarkable about the ancles and feet, his
ancles look as they had been hurt, they turn in looked swelled with knots
on them, his feet are flat, or rather round instead of hollow; he is about
five feet ten or eleven inches high, has a flat nose, and is a smooth
spoken fellow; he appears to be religious and I suppose will endeavour to
pass for a free man. As he has money and a variety of cloaths. Whoever
takes up and secures the said fellow, so that I get him again, shall
receive a Reward of Forty Dollars.
