A RUNAWAY.
MY NEGRO MAN, NED, not having returned home with my other Hands from fishing on Chowan, I conclude is run away. He is about 30 years old, rather tall and slender made, and has a slight cast or crooked ness in both his eyes. He is known about Winton and Murfreesboro', from where I moved, by the name of Cox.--I expect he will lurk about the forementioned places, or, perhaps, may extend his range to Gates or Northampton. As he is much used to going by water, he may, perhaps, try to impose upon some master of a vessel to take him abroad, & pass for a Free Man. I have no idea of parting from him, as I own his wife and children, therefore forewarn all persons from harboring or employing him in any manner whatever.--Should he be taken up and lodged in jail, I will pay all legal and necessary expences, besides a Reward of $10, as a further encouragement.
