MJ.780.017
26 Sep 1780:43 (7/40 367)
Two Hundred and fifty dollars reward. September 18, 1780.
Ran away, the third instant, from the subscriber living
about 10 miles from Baltimore-Town, a Negro man named
George, as I was informed when I bought him of Mr. Arthur
Robbins, in Accomack County, Virginia, about 14 months ago.
Since which I have been credibly informed his name is Lot.
He is about 22 years of age, six feet high, well made, of a
yellowish complexion for a Negro. Had on when he went away
a coarse linen shirt and trousers, felt hat, strip'd holland
jacket, coarse shoes with strings, sundry other clothes in a
wallet, one pair of velvet corded breeches, &c. Said Negro
plays well on the violin, and what is remarkable, plays with
his left hand.
