The Geography of Slavery

Virginia Gazette (Rind),
Williamsburg, August 1, 1771.

RUN away from the subscriber, in Lunenburg county, the 18th of April last, a Negro man named ADAM, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, a slim black fellow, has small legs, a naked spot on the top of his head; he is very sensible. Whoever secures the said servant, so that I get him again, shall receive TWENTY SHILLINGS, and all reasonable charges, paid by JOHN PETTUS.
