ALBEMARLE, September 12, 1771.
RUN away from the subscriber, on Saturday the 31st of August a likely Negro man, who calls himself John Cellars, 25 years old, and about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high; he is a good carpenter and cooper, reads and writes tolerably well; and I doubt not but he will endeavour to pass for a free man. He took with him a likely bay mare, 5 years old, about 5 feet high, paces well, shod before, and not branded that I remember. The said fellow is of a yellowish complexion. What kind or cloaths he might take with him I cannot say. Whoever brings the said Negro to me shall have a reward of 3l. of taken inthis colony, 10l. if out of it, and for the mare 2l.
