RUN AWAY from William Randall, a short thick wench named Lucy, with a child in her arms, and big of another, had on a green gown, and lately belonged to mrs. Shepheard. Likewise a short well made fellow named Bury, a blacksmith by trade, and very much pock-fretten. Whoever delivers them to the said Randall in Charles-Town, shall have 5 1. reward for the wench and child, and the like sum for the fellow, besides all Charges.
