Ran away about the Middle of July last from the Subscriber, living in King’s Country, Long Island, a Negro man named Jack, he is about 35 years of age, slim made, about 5 Feet 8 Inches in height, speaks good English and Dutch, and has been used to tending in a Grist Mill.— Whoever secures him in any Gaol or brings him to me shall be well rewarded, and all reasonable Charges paid by ABRAHAM SCHENK.
New-York, August 15, 1766.
