Run away from the subscriber's plantation in Manakin Town,
the last of July or first of August last, a black Negro man
named Tom, formerly the property of Major Henry Gaines of
King William, but since the said Gaine's death has been sold
several times, and is now my property.  He was bred by Major
Gaines to keeping horses and riding races, but is now a good
sawyer. . . He values himself for his fine dancing, is
subject to liquor, and fond of talking about religion. . .
