RAN away, from the subscriber living in Charlotte County, on the first instant (September) a large portly black fellow, named GEORGE; he is good cooper, a tolerable good carpenter, and carried away several tools with him, to wit, a broad axe, carpenters compasses, gimlets, &c. It is expected he will endeavour to pass as a free man; he chews tobacco, speaks slow, though very sensible; he is about 35 years of age, is a little knock-kne' d, his left foot is very remarkable, having but three toes, they stand apart and turn out; this foot is also much smaller than the other; he took away with him, a double wove coat and breeches, also a negro cotton jacket died a purple colour, one pair of shoes and two pair of stockings. I will give forty shillings reward, beside what the law allows, to any person that will bring him home, or apprehends him so that I get him again. JOSIAH FOSTER, jun.
