FORTY SHILLINGS REWARD. RUN away from the Subscriber, the 29th of November, a likely young Negro Fellow named JOE, about 5 Feet 10 Inches high, had on, when he went away, Jacket and Breeches made of dark coloured Kersey, with white Metal Buttons, a short Coat made of a Dutch Blanket, with white Metal Buttons, Virginia knit Stockings, and plain Shoes. As he was brought up in Williamsburg, I expect he is lurking about there. Whoever takes up the said Slave, and commits him to Gaol, or brings him to me in James City County, shall receive the above Reward. JOSEPH HORNSBY. YARMOUTH, April 1, 1777.
