$12 DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN AWAY from the overseer at my Cedar Creek Plantation, about the 10th or 15th of June last, a Negro Man by the name of WILLIS: 25 or 26 years old, dark complected, about the common statue[stature], has a scar in his face, and is a little knock-kneed; The said Negro was raised by the late Robt.[Robert] Jones, is dec'd[deceased], of Warren county, and sold by him to Duke W. Davis, Esq of this county, from whom I purchased him some 3 or 4 years past. It is presumed he is lurking about in the neighborhood where he was raised, and I am informed was taken up by a Mr. Allen last week and committed to Warren Jail, from which place he made him escape on Sunday night last. I will give the above reward for his deliver to my Overseer at the aforesaid Plantation, or to me--and Six Dollars if committed to any Jail, so that I get him again.
WM.[William] HARRISON.
