RUN away from the subscriber, in Amelia , in the year 1766, a black Virginia born Negro fellow, named SAMBO, about 6 feet high, about 32 years old, and bends in one of his knees, but which I cannot tell. He makes fiddles, and can play upon the fiddle, and work at the carpenters trade. I have heard that he passes for a free fellow. Whoever brings the said Negro to me shall have 10l. reward.
