PC.767.168
12 Oct 1767:21 (1/38 Postscript)
Sussex County, on Delaware, Three Run Mills, September 22,
1767.
Ten pounds reward. Run away from the subscriber, on the
13th instant, a mulatto slave, named Harry, about 40 years
of age, 5 feet 6 inches high, and well-set: Had on when he
went away, a brown cloth coat, white linen jacket, and brown
breeches; he was bred a miller, and understands very well
how to manufacture flour, and can invoice the same; is much
given to strong drink, and playing on the violin;
understands the carpenter's and millwrights business
middling well; was removed from East-New-Jersey in the year
1762, by one Nicholas Veight, who lived at Rocky-Hill, and
kept a mill; and the said fellow has a free Mulatto wife,
named Peg, and two children.--I expect they will endeavour
to get together (thought they did not run away at one time)
-- it is expected they will endeavour to get to the Province
of East-New-Jersey; it is imagined said mulatto has a pass.
Any person or persons that takes up and secures the said
mulatto, and delivers him to Charles Wharton, merchant, in
Philadelphia, or to the subscriber, shall have the above
reward of ten pounds, if taken in the province of New-
Jersey, and six pounds if in the province of Pennsylvania,
paid by [signed] Levin Crapper.
N.B. The said mulatto woman named Peg, has run away from
her bail, at Lewis Court, in Sussex county.
