RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Spotsylvania county, near the court house, on Wednesday the 5th instant, a negro fellow named TITUS; about 40 years of age, stout made, about six feet high, stoops much in walking, has very large feet and large knots on his ankles which occasions him to limp; has a large face, full eye, thick nose, very broad nostrils, coarse beard, and has lost several of his fore teeth; his back retains the mark of the whip. Carried away with him a Virginia cloth and a green plains coat, green and blue breeches, overalls of striped Virginia cloth, and other cloathing.--He is uncommon sensible and artful for a negro, fond of preaching and exhorting, being, as he says, of the Baptist persuasion, and will endeavour to pass for a free man.--I give a reward of Five Dollars to any person who will deliver the said negro to me, if taken in this county; and if taken out of the county, and secured in gaol so that I get him again, Ten Dollars. THOMAS MAGEE. June 12, 1793.
