RAN AWAY from the subscriber the 12th instant, a likely young Negro Man named TOM--He is very black, thick and rather short, and wore when he went away, two jackets of country double wove cloth, one white and the other dyed, both with a cape, and carried with him a blue and white mixed cotton coat, (cut long) two jackets, one a black velvet and the other red striped, two pair white breeches, one of them corded, a pair good shoes and a new hat; he professes shoemaking, is artful and plausible, and will no doubt endeavour to pass for a freeman. All masters of vessels and others, are forewarned from carrying him out of the state. Whoever will deliver said Negro to me, or secure him in any jail, so that I get him again, shall receive Ten Dollars Reward. WILLIAM LYNE. King and Queen county, March 16, 1793.
