AMELIA county, June 9, 1769. RUN away from the subscriber, two young Negro men (to wit) SAM, a remarkable low well made fellow, of a yellow complection, has thick lips, and commonly keeps them open, had on an oznabrig shirt, and cotton jacket and breeches. JACK, a black small fellow, his nose is thin and high for a Negro, had on an oznabrig shirt, cotton breeches, and one piece of hat crepe round his neck. They were seen near Westover church in Charles City, and will endeavour to get to or nigh Hampton, where they were raised, and did formerly belong to Miss Priest, were sold to me by a person who purchased them of Mr. Samuel Brasse. Any person who will take them up, and have them confined in a gaol, and give notice thereof in the Virginia Gazette, shall have 25 s. reward for each; the money shall be paid to the gaoler before the Negroes are taken away. JOHN SCOTT.
