Cow-Neck, (on Long-Island) August 13, 1760. RUN-AWAY, on Saturday Night last from the Subscriber, a Negro Man named Primus, about 20 Years of Age, somewhat smaller than middle Size, a likely well looking Fellow, speaks very good English and low Dutch, plays on the Violin, can read and write, and has attended a Grist Mill. *** [£3 reward if taken on Long Island; £6] if taken off the Island, and all reasonable Charges paid, by HENDERICK ONDERDONK. N. B. It is likely he will forge a Pass.
