RUN away from the subscriber in Williamsburg , about 8 or 10 weeks ago, a negro fellow named Harry , by trade a cooper and carpenter, and when at a bench he works on the wrong side. I purchased him at the estate of doctor Andrew Anderson , deceased, in New Kent county; and mr. Shermer of James City , where I believe he is now lurking, otherwise in King William , at or near one of the plantations of the said mr. Shermer . I will give 40s. to any person who secures the above slave, so as I get him again, or 3l. if delivered to me in Williamsburg .
FRANCIS JARAM .
