RUN away from the subscriber, in Amelia county, on the 29th of September last, a very likely young negro man slave named SAM, about 19 years of age. He is a tall spare made fellow, with a scar under his jaw. His apparel not known, as he had changeable suits of them. He pretends to lay claim to freedom, and is now harboured at one Matthew Ashby's, a mulatto, in Williamsburg, as I am informed. This is to forewarn all persons from harbouring or entertaining the said slave; and any person who will take up the said slave, and send him to Mr. Stephen Dence, in Dinwiddie county, shall be genteelly rewarded for their trouble by MATTHEW MAYES.
