The Geography of Slavery

Virginia Gazette or American Advertiser (Hayes),
Richmond, January 4, 1783.

November 4, 1782. FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD. RAN AWAY from Putney, while the British army was at Petersburg, JEMMY, a very likely Negro Man, of a light complexion, about four feet ten inches high, and about twenty-six years of age. I purchased him from Mr. Edward Markes, of Brunswick, and have reasons to believe he is in that neighbourhood now. I will give the above reward to have him delivered to me at Putney, in New-Kent County, or to Col. DANIEL DUVAL, in said County. W. CLAIBORNE.
