Ran-away from the subscriber, living in Gorham, which joins
Falmouth, Cumberland County, in the Massachusetts Province,
a short Negro man named Prince, about 26 years of age, 5
feet some inches high, talks broken English, has remarkable
small ears and a jewel hole in one of them. Had on almost a
new felt hat, a reddish grey home made cloth coat jacket and
breeches, with silk knee garters, a dark callicoe under
jacket, a white linnen shirt, red collar and cuffs to his
coat with metal buttons, white cotton stocking, calf-skin
pumps. It may be he has a pass. Said Negro plays tolerable
well on a violin. Whoever will take up said Negro, or bring
him to his master shall have sixteen dollars reward, and all
charges paid, by William M'Lennen.
N.B. Said Negro having done some damage at the house
where the Negroes met to hold their frolick on election day,
did not return to his master again.
All masters of vessels are forewarned not to carry him off
at their peril. May 26, 1774.
