$20 Reward. RANAWAY, on Sunday the
25th day of June last, from the subscriber, living near
Brentsville, Prince William Co. Va. A negro man by the name of
GEORGE. He is square built, of pretty dark complexion, supposed to
be about five feet, 9 or 10 inches high, some what bow-legged, and
the only scar recollected is one which he received on one of his
shoulders, or blade bone, cut with a scythe. He is nearly sixty
years of age, but has a very youthful appearance for his age. He has
worked at the Shoemaker's trade, and is a very good wagoner. He also
professes the Baptist Religion, and frequently pretends to officiate
as a minister of the gospel. His clothing, as well as recollected,
consists of a coat, pantaloons and a vest, of imported blue
broadcloth, an over coat and pantaloons of home made drab broad
cloth, and a black fur hat with a very broad brim. I purchased him
from Mrs. Elizabeth Blackburn, of Jefferson County, Va. And he has
several relations amongst her negroes, and I have no doubt he is
harbored by them either on her farm, or in that neighborhood. I will
give the above reward, with all reasonable expenses, to any person
who will deliver him to me at my residence, or lodge him in jail so
that I get him again.
