RAN away from the Subscriber, living in Chesterfield Country, about twelve Months ago, a Virginia -born Negro Man Slave, named Pompey , about 6 Feet 25 Years old: he is a likely, strong, loud-spoken, laughing Fellow, remarkable in walking, as his Ancle Bones frequently crack so loud that it may be heard at 50 Yards Distance: he took with him many Cloths, a Rackoon Hat, &c. which he is now supposed to have: He is good Sawyer, goes for a Free-man, had a Pass, supposed to be gone beyond Sea. and is now Outlaw'd. Whoever brings him to me, shall have Six Pistoles Reward, if taken in this Colony, Ten Pistoles if in any other, and if taken beyond Sea Twenty Pistoles: If any Person will give certain Intelligence of his being beyond Sea, and how he came there, so that I may get again, shall have Ten Pistoles Reward, paid by
