Run away from the subscriber on Saturday night last, a Negro
man named Tack, about 25 years of age, midling stature,
likely, active, and well made, was born and brought up in
this town, he had with him all his cloaths, among which were
a white broad cloath coat turned up with blue made short, a
scarlet cassimer coat, nankeen vest and breeches, blue
corduroy breeches, white shirt, tow cloth trowsers, check'd
homespun shirt, and old claret coloured coat and beat hat
half worn, he plays well on the flute and fife,--and went
off in company with a Negro wench of Mr. Platt's of this
town, who carried her cloaths and female child, she is about
40 years old, thick and fleshy and pretends to be his wife. 
Whoever will take up and bring said fellow to the subscriber
shall be paid ten dollars reward and reasonable charges. 
[signed] Thomas Seymour,  Hartford, September 3, 1783.
