Virginia Gazette
(Purdie & Co.), Williamsburg ,
May 2, 1766.

    RUN away from the subscriber, on the South River in Augusta county, a likely Negro fellow named DANIEL, about 25 years old, and has no beard, had on when he went away a brown home made coat, blue jacket, brown breeches, and blue stockings. As he was bred in the Northern Neck, it is likely he is gone there. Whoever secures the said fellow, so as I get him again, shall have 5 l. reward.
EDWARD HALL.

Daniel was captured May 23. See #v1766050230
