_FORTY DOLLARS REWARD_

Ran away from the subscriber living near Stafford court-house in the
commonwealth of Virginia, about the middle of May last, a Negro fellow
named JACK, about five feet eight or nine inches high, nineteen years old,
thick made and well set, stoops in the shoulders, and his complexion black,
has a remarkable scar on the top of one of his feet, but I forget whether
right or left; he carried with him the following cloaths, a greenish
coloured great coat of elastic cloth, with buff cuffs and cape, a white
casimer vest and breeches, a brown cloth vest, and a calico vest, but these
he may change for other cloaths; this negro lately belonged to the estate
of Mr. Thomas Stone, in Charles County, Maryland, and may pass himself for
one of the Thomas family of negroes belonging to the said estate, who made
pretention to their freedom, but the fallacy of the attempt may be easily
detected, as he is quite black, whereas the Thomas family are all of
mulatto colour; HE CAN ALSO READ A LITTLE. I suspect he is lurking about
Baltimore or Annapolis; his mother is in the former city, who is also a
runaway, and named Rachel. I will give the above reward of fifty dollars
to any person who will deliver him to me at my place of residence, or forty
dollars for securing him in any gaol so that I may get him again.
