RAN away from Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland in September last, a
Negro wench named PEGGY, but sometimes calls herself NANCY, about 26 years
of age, talks on the Welsh accent, her complexion of a yellowish cast, the
wool on her head is longer than negroes commonly have: Had on a blue
petticoat of Duffil cloth, old shoes and stockings, her other clothes
uncertain. IT IS SUPPOSED SHE WENT OFF WITH A PORTUGESE FELLOW WHO SERVED
HIS TIME WITH MR. JACOB FUNK: they probably may be in the neighborhood of
Georgetown or Alexandria or gone towards camp, and that she will attempt to
pass for a free woman, and wife to the Portugese fellow. Whoever takes her
up and secures her in any gaol, so that the subscriber get her again, or
delivers her to Daniel Hughes, Esq., in Hagerstown, shall have the above
reward, and reasonable charges,
