Virginia Gazette (Purdie),
Williamsburg, August 4, 1775.

RUN away from the subscriber, in King and Queen county, at the plantation of John Parke Custis, Esq, two apprentice boys, viz. LYDDAL CRUMP and EDMUND RAGLAND, of New Kent county, who have both light hair and fair complexions. One of the said boys is 17 years of age, and the other 18. This is to forewarn all persons from entertaining or harbouring them, at their peril. GEORGE CLOPTON, junior.
