Run away, the 10th of April last, Ben, a Negro fellow
belonging to the estate of Adam Fleming, Esq; deceased.  He
is about 25 or 30 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high,
rather slim made, and wears his hair much down on his
cheeks, like whiskers.  He has been lurking about
Williamsburg and York, and plays the fiddle.  His clothes I
cannot describe.--Whoever will bring the said Negro to me at
Cabin Point, Surry County, shall be entitled to 40s. besides
what the law allows. [signed] James Willison.
  [hand pointing right] Any person to whom Adam Fleming,
Esq; deceased, is indebted, by bond or acconnt, will please
to apply to James Willison for payment.
