RUN AWAY from Thomas Wright, a Negro Man named Cuffe, he lately belonged to Messrs. Houghton & Webb of Charlestown, and formerly belonged to Major Lowndes, he speaks pretty good English, and is used to work at the Cooper’s Trade. Also absented from his Master, a lusty Negro Boy, named Belfast, alias Bungee, he commonly waited on his Master, has on a blue Cloth Jacket and Breeches. Whoever apprehends either of them, and brings them to Mr. William Roper in Charlestown, or to the Plantation of his Master, shall be well rewarded.
Thomas Wright.
