RUN away from the Poor House belonging to St. Paul's and St. Martin 's Parishes, Hanover County, in November 1770, and Negro named PHILL, about five and thirty Years of Age, middle sized, of a yellow Complexion, an artful, smooth, talkative Fellow, and probably may endeavour to pass for a Freeman. He has worked some Time at the Carpenter's and Cooper's Trades, but knows very little or either. He formerly belonged to the late Speaker ( Robinson ) of King and Queen . When he went away he had on the usual Negro Dress, and stole sundry other Clothes. Whoever delivers him to me shall have Five Pounds Reward, if he is taken in the Colony, and EIGHT POUNDS if out thereof. Masters of Vessels and others are hereby forewarned from carrying him out of the Country.
JOHN LAWRENCE .
