Ran away, from the subscriber, living on Swan-Creek, Kent County, Maryland, on Tuesday the 17th instant, a Negro Fellow, named JACK BOYER, stout and well made, about six feet high, dark complexion, two or three of his upper fore-teeth out, a scar over his left eye. He understands sawing with the pit-saw, mows well with the craddle or grass-scythe, and is expert at ditching; also cutting and hewing timber. Had on when he went away, a brown cloth jacket, white under jacket, white kersey trousers, tow linen shirt, a pair of old shoes, and a small round hat.
Whoever takes and secures the said Fellow, so that his master may get him again, shall have THREE POUNDS Reward, and if brought home, all reasonable charges paid, besides being rewarded for their trouble, by
JOHN PAGE.
May 24, 1785.
