Run-Away on Friday morning from Resolved Waldron of this City, baker, a Negro Man named Wan, by trade a baker, a yellow fellow about 25, much pock mark’d, and goes a little limp. Had on when he went away, a white Cloth Pea Jacket lined with blue, an Ozenbrig shirt, Sailor’s trowsers, a pretty old Hat and shoes.
Whoever takes up and secures the said Negro Man, so that his master may have him again, shall have Forty Shillings Reward, and all reasonable charges, paid by Resolved Waldron.
