RUN AWAY from the subscriber on Tuesday, 23d instant, Two Negroes, WILL and CURLE, late the property of Col. Willoughby deceased; they were both dispatched from me on Tuesday morning with a loaf of Sugar and a bundle of Cordage, with a letter directed to Mr. Wilson Butt, near Great Bridge, whom these articles were for; they also had with them three weeks provisions, which they were directed to carry up to the Bridge, where they were, and had been at work since New Year's day last. I think it unnecessary to describe them, they being well known in Norfolk and its vicinity. WILL has a wife at Mr. William Langley's I apprehend they are lurking about Tanner's creek or Willoughby's point. I will give a generous reward to any person that will deliver them to me, or secure them in any Jail so that I get them again. All persons are forewarned harbouring them at their peril. HILLARY BUTT, Norfolk Borough, April 30, 1793.
