Jan 11, 1737 [1738]. On Sunday last, ran away from Col.
Benjamin Harrison, in Charles City, a servant man, named
Thomas Cellars, who was a servant of Mrs. Stagg's:  He is a
small man, of about five feet two inches high; his left eye
quite out, by a blow from a horse; very much battle ham'd,
and a long, flat foot, an Englishman by birth, plays very
well on the violin, or fiddle, and is a great lover of
strong drink:  He has a wigg, a lightish Kersey. coat and
waistcoat, blew cotten breeches, with silk puffs; a pair of
gray worsted stockings, and Virginia common shoes.  He went
off in company with a little shoemaker, who ran away for
debt, named Richard Hooper.  Whoever will bring the said
runaway to me, shall be handsomely rewarded, besides what
the law directs.
