RAN away from the Subscriber in Lancaster County, the 17th Instant, a dark Mullatto Felow, named Will: He is a lusty, well-set Fellow, aged about 42 Years; he is pretty much Pock-fretten, and has a Lump on the hind Part of One of his Legs, near his Heel. He wore a Man's Cloth Jacket, a Pair of brown Cotton Breeches, and an Oznabrig Shirt, he carried with him, a white Fustian Jacket, a lopping Ax, and a Fiddle: He is a Carpenter, Sawyer, Shoemaker, and Cooper. Whoever will apprehend the said Slave, or give Intelligence so that he may be had again, shall be sufficiently rewarded, besides what the Law allows, paid by
James Ball.
