Petersburg, Jan. 8, 1783. CAME to the subscriber's plantation near Petersburg, on or about the first instant, an outlandish Negro Boy, eighteen or nineteen years of age, about five feet high, limps in his walk, speaks broken English, and has a scar on his forehead: He had on a brown coat faced with red, and a felt hat bound with red: He says his name is TONEY, and that he belongs to Mr. Lunsford Daniel, of King and Queen County, and ran away from him about twelve miles from Petersburg, when on his way to North-Carolina. The owner is desired to prove his property, pay charges, and take him away. DAVID HOLT.
