    June 16, 1752. RAN away from the Subscriber's Plantation, in Warwick County, about a Month ago, a likely Negroe Wench, about 30 Years of Age, named Alice; had on when she went away a check'd Jacket and Petticoat, and carried with her some other Cloathes. It is suppos'd she is somewhere about Williamsburg. Whoever brings her to me, shall receive half a Pistole Reward, besides what the Law allows.
