HAMPTON, July 5, 1771.
RUN away from the subscriber last August, a very street well made Mulatto man named SAMUEL BERRY, by trade a shoemaker; it is needless to mention his cloathing, to be has been out so long, and as he plays on the fiddle, he has many opportunities of changing his dress. I understand he is about Petersburg, committing robberies daily. Whoever secures the said slave, so that I may get him again, shall be fully rewarded for their trouble, by
JUDITH HARBERT
