NHG-E.776.001
8 Jun 1776:23 ([1/4])
As the public were a few days since informed of the honour
done General Gage, by naming a child after him, it may not
be amiss to let it be known, that Lord Dunmore also comes in
for his share in the same way.
On Monday the eighth instant, a lusty, likely Negro Wench,
was delivered of a male child, who, in memory of a certain
Negroe Chief, is named Dunmore.
Hail! Doughty Ethiopian Chief!
Thou ignominious Negro-Thief!
This Black shall prop thy sinking name,
And damn thee to perpetual flame.
(Query. Is not this, though an act of justice to Dunmore,
cruelty to the innocent Negro,)
