GLOUCESTER, July 11, 1771.

RUN away from the Subscriber, in February 1770, a likely Negro Fellow named ADAM , by trade a Cooper and sawer, near six Feet high, of a yellow Complexion, down Look, rather slow of Speech, his Beard grows much under his Chin, has some gray Hairs on his Head, though but twenty five Years old, and one of his Shins has been Hurt. He was some Months advertised in the Virginia Gazette, and in the Night of the 25th Instant made his Escape from Mr. Spilsby Coleman, at an Ordinary in Henrico County, who was bringing him from Orange County, North Carolina (where he had indented himself, by the Name of Thomas Jackson, to one Hugh Dobbins) but has since been seen at the Plantation of Colonel William Macon, in New Kent. He had on when he made his Escape, a Pair of coarse patched Rolls Trousers, a Cotton or white Plains Waistcoat much worn about the Sleeves, a pretty good brown Linen Shirt, but very dirty, a small new Felt Hat, and a Pair of old Shoes. He took Nothing with him but what he had on, which perhaps he may change the first Opportunity. He pretends to be a Newlight, can read and write a little, and had when taken up a forged pass. Whoever brings the said Negro to me in Gloucester County, or to Colonel William Macon of New Kent County, shall have FIFE [sic] POUNDS Reward if taken in this Colony and TWENTY FIVE POUNDS if out thereof.

JOHN FOX.
