FORTY DOLLARS REWARD. RUNAWAY the 23d of April last, a negro man named SOLOMON , about thirty years old, a short wel [sic] sett yellow fellow, much bow legged, has a sharp chin with a very plain scar on one of his cheeks about an inch long , a rough coarse voice, speaks distinctly, and has an open countenance; he is an exceeding good waiter in the house, stable, or as a riding servant, having been accustomed to that business; has waited on Messrs. SARGEANT & RICHARDSON of Petersburg for eight or nine years last past, and has been with one, or both of them to different parts of the continent, particularly to several of the mercantile towns, in the northern states, where I expect he is gone, or will endeavor to go, as he was seen in Norfolk at the time of the spring races; he was also a riding servant to Doctor Campbell of Cabin Point in his life time: had on when he went away from home a drab coloured cloth coat and breeches; he may be lurking in the neighborhood of Smithfield, as the wife he had before he went to Petersburg belongs to a Capt. Sinclair who lives not far from that town. I will give the above reward to any person that will deliver him to me, or Messrs. Davis & Chalmers of Petersburg (to whom I have hired him for the present year) with all reasonable expences, attending the delivery of him if taken out of the state, and twenty dollars only if taken within this state, with travelling expences--and I do hereby forewarn all persons from carrying him out of the state. RICHARD JONES. Notoway County, July 18, 1799.
