Cumberland, December 1, 1782. RAN AWAY from a plantation of the subscriber's in Powhatan County, about the middle of May last, TOM, a likely tall Mulatto lad, about eighteen years of age; he is descended from, and very much resembles, an Indian, was raised in the County of Dinwiddie, where I once possessed a plantation, and it is more than probable he is lurking in the same neighbourhood. Whoever will deliver the said slave to my Manager in Powhatan, or secure him in any gaol so that I recover him, shall be handsomely rewarded, by HENRY SKIPWITH.
