Eight Dollars Reward. RUN away from the Subscriber, a stout Negro Man named SAM IVEY, a carpenter and caulker by trade, pitted with the small pox. I forwarn all Captains of vessels, or others from harbouring or taking him away; also any other person employing him and paying him wages without an order from me, shall be answerable for the same after this date. Whoever secures said Negro Slave, or delivers him to me at No. 71, Beekman-Street, shall be paid the above reward, with every other expense.
JONATHAN EILBECK
July 30 1781.
