17 Jul 1738:22 (153)
Ran away from his master, Mr. Cockrell Reeves of Salem, on
the 10th of this instant July, a Negro man servant named
Will, a tall strait limb'd and well looking fellow, who
talks good English. He carried away with him, two coats,
one a dark homespun, the other white fustian, a pair of
ozenbrigs breeches, and several other garments. His wool is
lately cut off. There went away with him a short Negro
fellow belonging to Mr. William Browne, who was dress'd in
black. The said Negro plays well upon the violin. They
stole and carried away with them, one large bay horse, with
a large star in his forehead, that paces and trots, but
chuses to gallop. Also a bay mare about thirteen hands and
half high, that paces well, and has been wrenched behind.
N.B. They are suppos'd to be gone towards New-York.
Whoever shall take up said Negro Will, and secure him so
that his said master may have him again, shall have five
pounds reward, and necessary charges, and for the horse and
mare forty shillings each with necessary charges.
