Virginia Herald and Fredericksburg Advertiser (Green),
Fredericksburg, March 28, 1793

TEN Dollars Reward, for taking up and securing a Negro woman named ALICE, so that I get her again--She ran away from me last Christmas was twelve Months, at Port-Conway--have lately been informed she was seen in Hobs Hole, and passed for a free woman, by the name of FANNY, and that she has removed from that place.--She is a likely woman, very black, with a remarkable scar on her breast. JAMES STROTHER Elk-run Church, Fauquier county, March 11th, 1793.
