FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber in Buckingham county, near the courthouse, the 12th day of May last, a likely negro man by the name of RANDOLPH ; he is twenty five years of age, about five feet nine or ten inches high, of a yellowish complexion, spare meade, has a down look when spoken to, and if questioned closely is very apt to stutter, and has a fine voice--He has worked in Richmond for three or four years at the canal, was formerly the property of Mr. Thomas Coles of New-Kent, in which county he has a wife, belonging to Mrs. Ann Hill, near Mr. John Clopton's Mill. I will give the above reward to any person or persons who will deliver the said negro to me living in Buckingham county, near the courthouse, or thirty dollars to secure him in jail so that I get him again. PETER MOSELEY. July 25th, 1799. N. B. Randolph's mother belongs to William Gaddy, of James-City county, and he has connections at Wm. Q. Walker's, John Coles', Wm. Brown's, and Wm. Brown's mill in the said county. I expect he is with Thomas Coles' Ned , who is also run away.
