40 Dollars Reward. Ran-away from the Plantation of the Subscriber near this Town, on the 29th of August, a Negro Man, named ISAAC. He is about 45 years of age, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, very much knock-kneed, the joints of his great toes are unusually large, and he lost two of his upper teeth. He is a cooper by trade, and was lately the property of Mr. James Granberry, dec. of this place. He has lived with the late Mr. Jesiah Granbery, at Sunsberry, in Gates county, at Winton, in Northampton county, with Mr. Josiah Granberry, at the Cross-Roads, in Bertie county, with the late Mr. John D. White, at the White Marsh, and at Suffolk, in Virginia; it is supposed he is well known at all those places. It is uncertain what clothes he took with him. All persons are forwarned not to carry away, or harbour the said fellow: And whoever will deliver him to me a this place, shall be entitled to the above reward, and all reasonable charges. Josiah Collins. Edenton, Sept. 19, 1807. tf83
