   RAN away from the Subscriber in Hanover County, on the 9th of this Instant, a Convict Servant Man named Thomas Jones, an Englishman born; he is a small thin'-fac'd Fellow, a Shoemaker by Trade, and understands Husbandry. Had on when he went away, a short coarse red Jacket, and an old Drugget one over it, a Pair of old Shoes, a Pair of grey Yarn Stockings, a fine Hat, and an old white Shirt: he took with him two Pair of Pumps, two Pair of Shoe Buckles, two Raizors, and a large Knife. He was brought into Rappahannock by Capt. Grace. Whoever apprehends and secures the said Servant, so that he may be had again, shall be handsomely rewarded, over and above what the Law allows, by
Matthew Wellman.
