TEN DOLLARS REWARD RUN AWAY from the subscriber, a mulatto fellow, by the name of GEORGE, formerly the property of William Rhar[?], Esq.[Esquire] he is pretty stout made, about twenty-four years old, five feet six or seven inches high, has a scar on his left arm occasioned by the stab of a knife; he is by trade a cooper, and being a pretty bright mulatto may attempt to pass as a free man. It is probable he is lurking about the plantation of Samuel Johnston, Esq.[Esquire] in Pasquotank county, his mother and relations being there. The above reward and all reasonable expences will be given to any person taking him up and delivering him to me. H. MURFREE State of North Carolina, Hertford County, Murfreesborough, 7th March, 1795.
