RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in the lower end of Louisa county, on last Saturday night, a likely Virginia born Negro Man, named SAM, about 6 feet high, 28 years of age, and is much marked with the small pox--he wore away nothing remarkable except a pair of red striped breeches--he is well acquainted in Richmond, Hanover-town, and the Forks of Hanover. I expect he will attempt to get on board of some vessel in order to make his escape, as I have been informed he has got a certificate of his being a free man, and as he left my plantation where no white man lived, and where he acted as an overseer.--I will reward any person, (handsomely) who will secure him so that I get him again. W. MERIWETHER July 29, 1793.
