RAN away from Cawson, three negro fellows, viz. NED, ISAAC, and Jupiter: Ned is a tall raw-boned fellow, of about 6 feet high, is somewhat of a carpenter, and a good negro shoemaker, at the latter of which trades he will probably offer himself to work; he has a wife at one Isaac Vaden's, near Holt's Forge, on Chickahominy, in which neighbourhood, or about Col. William Allen's plantation in New-Kent, on York River, near the thick-house, he will probably be found. Isaac, a stout well made fellow, of about 30 or 35 years of age, about the middle size, much scarred by frequent floggings before he came into my possession; he has a wife at one David Williams's (near the above plantation of Colonel Allen) at whose house he was taken up about 6 months ago, and is probably harboured there at this time; his cloathing was Virginia made cloth. Jupiter, a young likely fellow, of about 21 years of age, well made, about 5 feet ten inches high, cloathed in blue when he absconded, which was last June; he is a very black negro, smooth skin, and a modest countenance. I have been informed that his haunts are in King William, near West-Point, at Snow Creek, near Fredericksburg, and in the neighbourhood of Col. Allen's quarter in New-Kent, above-mentioned. I will give SIX DOLLARS to any person for each of the above negroes, delivered to me at Cawson, and three pence per mile for travelling expences; or FOUR DOLLARS for each of them, to any person who will confine them in the gaol of the County where they are taken, and inform me thereof, so that I get them again. The above negroes all belonged to the estate of Mrs. Hannah Daingerfield, of New-Kent County, deceased. THEODORICK BLAND.
