Friend of Friends Friday: Ranaway: Davy

Alexandria Gazette (Va.)
23 November 1821

THIRTY DOLLARS REWARD

RAN away from the subscriber living in Prince William county, Va. DAVY, a yellow negro man, about 20 years old, 6 feet or near it high; he has a down look when spoken to; a scar between his thumb and fore finger, on the right hand. He is straight and well made; his eyes full and black. He had on when he went away a blue mixed round jacket, dark yarn pantaloons & a cotton shirt. Davy has been raised in the house as a house servant, and can be a very excellent servant when he pleases. If taken in the state, I will give 20 dollars, or 30 if taken out of the state & secured in a jail.
