FIVE POUNDS REWARD.
Mount Pleasant,
November 23, 1784.
RAN away last night from the subscriber, living near Upper Marlborough, a slave called HESS, (alias Hezekiah Scott) a very fair mulatto, about 22 years old, and about 5 feet 6 inches high, well made, with a large mole on his right cheek, dark red or sandy hair, sometimes tied in a club, and sometimes queued, by trade a tailor, and a very good waiter; his dress two blue suits, one edged with red, the other lined with white, and yellow metal buttons on both, white linen overalls, white stockings, and shoes with large white metal buckles, a large fantail hat with a black riband and buckle, with many other cloaths unknown. I have great reason to think he is in Annapolis, as his mother lives with Mr. George Mann. Whoever will secure the said slave so that I get him, shall have the above reward and reasonable charges if brought home.
JOHN WARING.
