RAN away, in the Night of the 24th Instant, from the Plantation of Jotham Lassiter, on Neuse River, about nine Miles East of Raleigh, a NEGRO WENCH.  She is a bright yellow, about 21 Years of Age, rather above the common Stature; she has had a Cut quite across one her Feet.  She had a young Child with her, and went off with a Fellow lately belonging to Isaac Hutchins, near Raleigh, who was some Time ago sold to Cross Creek, in Cumberland, to which Place it is probable they may be gone. Whoever shall apprehend the said Wench, and lodge her in Goal, or restore her to her Owner Jotham Lassiter aforesaid, will be well rewarded for their Trouble.
