MJ.780.026
5 Dec 1780:22 (377 Supplement)
Two Hundred and fifty dollars reward. Ran away on the 3d of
September, from the subscriber living about 10 miles from
Baltimore-Town, a Negro man named George, as I was informed,
when I bought him of Mr. Arthur Robbins, in Accomack County,
Virginia, about 16 months ago. Since which I have been
credibly informed his name is Lot. He is about 22 years of
age, six feet high, well made, of a yellowish complexion for
a Negro. Had on when he went away a coarse linen shirt and
trousers, felt hat, strip'd holland jacket, coarse shoes
with strings, sundry other clothes in a wallet, one pair of
velvet corded breeches, &c. Said Negro plays well on the
violin, and what is remarkable, plays with his left hand.
