The Geography of Slavery

Virginia Gazette (Purdie & Dixon),
Williamsburg, December 26, 1771.

RUN away, some Time in April last, a Virginia born Negro Man named DAVID (alias David Gasco) about thirty Years old, five Feet nine or ten Inches high, remarkably well made, has lost one or both of his great Toes by being Frost-bitten, one Finger next the little One has been hurt, which occasions it to stand erect, and has lost some of his Teeth. He had on, when he went away, a Cotton Jacket and Breeches, and an Osnabrug Shirt. Whoever brings him to me, in Lunenburg, shall have five Pounds Reward. WARREN BEUFORD.
