Run away from the subscriber in Amelia, in the year 1766, a
black Virginia born Negro fellow, named Sambo, about 6 feet
high, about 32 years old, and bends in one of his knees, but
which I cannot tell.  He makes fiddles, and can play upon
the fiddle, and work at the carpenters trade.  I have heard
that he passes for a free fellow.  Whoever brings the said
Negro to me shall have 10L. reward.  [signed] Mark Jackson.
