FIVE POUNDS REWARD. RUN away from the Subscriber, in the upper End of Caroline County, the last Week in May, two Negro Men, ABRAHAM and CAESAR, the former is about 6 Feet 3 or 4 Inces [sic] high, is a strong well made Fellow, a Shoemaker by Trade, is a fine Plantation Hand, has had a Sore upon one of his Shin Bones nearly as large as a Dollar, and I expect the Scar is still fresh. Caesar is a Planter, stoops a little in his Shoulders, is an outlandish Negro, and his Temples are full of grey Hairs. I purchased both of the said Slaves last October from Col. Philip Rootes of King and Queen County, where I have Reason to believe they are gone. Whoever will take up and deliver the said Negroes to me shall receive the above Reward, or FIFTY SHILLINGS for either of them. ANTHONY THORNTON, Junior.
