RAN-AWAY from the subscriber, in Dobbs county, North Carolina, on the 22d of May last, a Negro man named BEN; he is a very likely well made fellow, very active, about six feet high, of a yellow complexion, shows the marks of the small-pox very plainly, has, by some accident, lost a small part of one of his ears, his great toe, I believe on the right foot, turns back inwardly. He is an excellent waiter, understands the care of horses, and waggoning, and is a remarkable good ploughman. He took with him a variety of cloaths, and occasionally dresses very neat. It is expected he will pass for a free man, and privately leave the state. Whoever will apprehend said slave, and secure him so that I get him again, shall receive the above reward, with all reasonable expences. BENJAMIN SHEPPERD. June 25, 1789.","ImageURL":"http://dlas.uncg.edu/Content/images/notices/full/714.jpg","StateCode":"NC","CountyCode":"CRA","CountyOfPublication":"Craven","NewspaperPageNumber":3,"Destinations":[],"DatesOfDeparture":["5/22/1789"],"People":[{"name":"Benjamin Shepperd","role":"Placing Ad"},{"name":"Ben","role":"Slave"},{"name":"Benjamin Shepperd","role":"Slaveholder"}],"CityOfResidence":"","CountyOfResidence":"Lenoir","StateOfResidence":"NC"}
