    Jan. 30, 1752. RAN away from the Subscriber, living in King & Queen County, a well-set, bow leg'd Negroe Fellow, stutters pretty much when he speaks fast, and had on when he went away a Fearnothing Coat, a new Cotton Waistcoat and Breeches; he likewise carried off with him a stolen Gun. Whoever will bring him to me, in the County aforesaid, shall have Three Pistoles Reward.
