Ran away from the Plantation of Robert Bristow, Esq; in Gloucester County, about the Middle of December last, a lusty well made Negro Man, named Sam, about 5 Feet 6 Inches high, about 35 Years old; had on when he went away a dark color’d Coat, a Cotton Waistcoat and Breeches, Plaid Stockings and plain Shoes. And as a Schooner and a Sloop went from the said Plantation (belonging to Mr. John Hood, of Prince George County) about the Time the said Negroe ran away, there is Reason to believe he is gone in one of them. Whoever will apprehend and convey him to the above-mention’d Plantation, shall have Five Pounds Reward, besides what the Law allows, paid by Francis Willis, Sen.
