Ran-away from his Master Johnson Jackson of Boston,
distiller, on the 24th instant, a Negro man named Titus, of
a middle stature, born at Nantucket, speaks softly: He had
with him when he went away, two jackets, one of a light
colour which he wore outside, with metal buttons and a patch
on the shoulder, the other jacket of a dark colour, and a
pair of breeches of the same, a pair of leather breeches
with metal buttons, a pair of trowsers, two pair of
stockings, one pair blue very fine, the other grey patched
on the feet, two shirts, one check'd woollen, the other
cotton and linnen, and a narrow beaver hat; it is suppos'd
that a free Negro woman named Hannah is along with him, who
goes lame; and 'tis tho't they lye by in the day-time and
travel at night, and design for Rhode-Island or Nantucket.
The fellow plays well upon a violin.
Whoever will take up said Negro, so that his Master may have
him again, shall receive ten pounds old tenor, reward, and
all necessary charges paid. [signed] Johnson Jackson.
