RAN away some Time in August last, from the Subscriber's Plantation, on Willis's Creek, in Albemarle County, a new Negroe Man Slave, who was imported this Summer in the Williamsburg, Captain Tate; as he cannot tell who he belongs to he may be committed to Prison, though there is some Reason to believe he was met on the Road and carried high up the Country: He is a strong made Fellow, about five Feet ten Inches high, stoops much in his Shoulders, and has a surly down Look; The little Time I had him he went by the Name of David, tho' he may not now remember it; he had on when he went away a new strong Oznabrig Shirt, a blue Pennystone Waistcoat, sew'd up the Sides, the whole Breadth of the Cloth, and a new Scotch Bonnet. I hereby offer a Reward of Two Pistoles (besides what the Law allows) to any person who shall have taken him up, and will bring him to me in Chesterfield, or to Mr. James Allen in Albemarle County; or if he is stolen, as is suspected, I will give Ten Pistoles to any Person that will inform me in whose Possession he is, so that I may have him again. Archibald Cary.
