Twenty Dollars Reward. RAN-AWAY from the subscriber, near Sneedsborough (Anson county,) a yellow man slave, by the name of LARRY, about 35 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, straight and slender built, has a small piece taken from one of his ears, on one of his legs is a large scar--I purchased said negro from General Gabriel Holmes[?], of Sampson County, North-Carolina. LARRY is a sensible fellow, and I think it probable that he has procured a pass, by which he will attempt to pass for a free man; and most likely will aim for Wilmington in this state, or Norfolk, Viriginia, and take shipping; I am informed that he is acquainted at both these places. I forewarn all masters and owners of vessels, from employing or taking him on board, & c. H. PEARSON. Sneedsborough, N.C. June 30, 1817.
