25 February 1807
30 Dollars reward
Ranaway from the subscriber on the 29th December last, a negro man named CATO, sometimes calls himself Canto Calbert, about 32 years of age, near six feet high -- tolerably well made -- very black complexion. Had on and took with him when he went away, a blue broadcloth coat, corded pantaloons and some country cloth clothes. He is a good fiddler, and very fond of playing on that instrument. I brought said negro about 4 years past, from Prince George's county, in Maryland. I expect he has made for Baltimore or Philadelphia & will endeavor to pass as a freeman. He was formerly in the possession of John Findlay. I forewarn all persons from hiring or harbouring said Negro under the penalty of the law. I will give the above reward if delivered to me in Prince William county, or 20 dollars, for securing him in any jail in the United States.John Sutton
