26 Oct 1782:41 (1/45) 
A young likely Negro man came to my plantation in King
George, in July last; he calls himself William Lucas, and
says that he was with the French army at Falmouth in their
march to the northward, and got separated from them by
accident; he says he belongs to Leonard Baker.  the said
slave is about five feet seven or eight inches high, has
with him some shoemakers tools and professes himself a
shoemaker; he is very well made, active, dances well and
plays on the fiddle, has remarkable bad teeth.  Leonard
Baker (if there is such a man which I very much doubt) is
desired to prove his property, pay charges and take him
away. October 8, 1782. [signed] Gerard Hooe.
