Five Pounds Reward FOR apprehending JOE, who ran away from the subscriber in Dinwiddie on the 10th day of February last. He is a dark Mulatto, 24 years old, stout and well made, 6 feet 2 inches high, has a bushy head of hair, and is of the Indian breed; is an excellent sawyer, can do rough carpenters work, plays on the violin, of which he is very fond; he endeavoured to pass for a free man since his elopment, and changed his name to PETER TONY, when he was taken up at Jordan's point in Prince George county. As he was then trying to get on board a vessel (in company with a sailor) to go down the river, may very likely be lurking in some town in the lower parts of this state, or perhaps in Baltimore, and assume to himself a new name since his escape. Whoever apprehends the said slave and delivers him to William Wilkins, in Prince George, (to whom I have sold him) shall receive the above reward. DRURY THWEATT. N.B. I will pay the above reward to any person on delivering the above mentioned slave to me, 10 l. if brought from another state, and 3 l. if secured in jail that I may get him. WILLIAM WILKINS.
