MJ.780.008
13 Jun 1780:23 (7/24 351)
Five Hundred dollars reward. Ran away, last night, from the
subscriber living about ten miles from Baltimore-Town, a
Negro man named George, as I apprehended when I bought him
of Mr. Arthur Robbins, in Accomack County, Virginia, about
twelve months ago. Since which I have been credibly informed
his name is Lot. He is 21 years old, six feet high, well
made, of a yellowish complexion for a Negro. Had on when he
went away a coarse linen jacket, shirt and trousers, felt
hat, strip'd jacket, coarse shoes with buckles, sundry
clothes in a wallet, one pair of velvet corded breeches, &c.
This Negro plays well on the violin, and what is remarkable,
plays with his left hand.
