RAN away, from the subscriber, Friday morning last, a Negro Man named PARRAWAY, about 38 years of age, a stout, hearty, well looking fellow, about 5 feet eight or nine inches high, a tanner and currier by trade; had on, when he went away, a blue regimental coat, faced with white, and long trousers; somewhat pitted with the small-pox, his teeth before, in the upper jaw, either very irregular or one of them lost. Said Negro was seen in Baltimore-Town on Saturday last, and supposed to be somewhere about said town now; and will very likely endeavour to get on board some outward-bound vessel, for which reason masters of vessels are hereby requested to be very cautious, as they will answer shipping said Negro at their peril. Whoever takes up said Negro, and secures him, so that his mistress may get him again, shall have the above Reward, and reasonable charges, if brought home, paid by
MARY MAYO.
Ann-Arundel County,
April 8, 1782.
