Virginia Gazette (Purdie & Dixon), Williamsburg, September 23, 1773.
RUN away from Fredericksburg, a NEGRO MAN, named Caesar, belonging to the Estate of Mr.
Philip Sowerby, deceased. He is a well made Fellow, about five Feet nine or ten Inches high,
pitted with the Smallpox, and of a yellowish Cast, formerly belonged to Mr. Peter Marye, is a
notorious Runaway, and has often been outlawed. I am informed he lately committed a robbery in
Essex and was pursued and taken in Middlesex, but made his Escape from the Constable. He has
now been about six Months gone, and I hear has been often in Custody, but always contrived to
get at Liberty. Whoever apprehends the said Negro, and delivers him to me at Fredericksburg,
shall receive THREE POUNDS Reward, and reasonable travelling Expences, according to the
Distance he is brought. CHARLES YATES.
