$20 REWARD.--Ran away from the subscriber, living in the upper end of Nottoway county, near Burke's Tavern, on the 30th day of June last, my negro woman, named Ada, between 25 and 30 years of age. Ada is about the medium size, rather likely than otherwise, and of a mullatto[sic] color approaching to red, with one of her fingers stiff. I understand she was seen about ten days ago, in the neighborhood of Lunenburg Court house, and was also seen near Blackface[?], in the lower end of Nottoway county, a short time since, and it is probable she is making her way to the neighborhood of Edward T. Fowlkes, in Franklin county N. C., where her mother resides. I will give $20 for her delivery to me, or $15 for her commitment to Jail so that I get her again. HIRAM FOWLKES. Nottoway co., Va. Oct. 14, 1842. 417-1t.
