25 Dollars Reward Will be paid to any person or persons, who will arrest, and confine in either of the Jails, of Edenton or Plymouth, negro Provy or Providence, who left me in Plymouth, abut a month since. This fellow has been employed as a Carriage Driver, and Ostler for several years, and is skilled in that business. He is about 26 or 28 years of age, complexion though not of the blackest order, yet very dark, about six feet high, smooth face and pleasant countenace, speaks rather timidly with somewhat stammering, is full built and would weigh perhaps 180 lbs. He had an extensive supply of clothes for a servant. Mr. John Walker of Plymouth once owned him, but more recently belonged to David Clark, Esq. of Scotland-Neck. Masters of Vessels and others, are forwarned from carrying off this negro under the severest penalty of the law. GABRIEL W. HOLMES. April 10th 1827.
