Transcription: 30 Dollars Reward. WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail so that I get him again, my Negro Man STEPHEN, who ranaway from my Fishery in Bertie about the 13th of May last. He is a mulatto man about 6 feet high 32 years old, tolerably spare made, has a down look when spoken to and stammers a little when speaking. He is well known in many parts of Bertie by the name of yellow Stephen or Outlaw's Stephen, is an artful cunning man, a Jack of all trades, he can cobble, cooper, do rough carpenter's work, & make almost every thing that can be useful on a plantation. He has a wife at Mr. Robert Peterson's, near Salmon-Creek, in Bertie County, where it is probable he is lurking. In addition to the above reward all reasonable expences will be paid, if delivered to me at Harmony, two miles below Williamsboro', Granville County (N.C.) Joseph H. Bryan. July 15 1819.
