New-York, April 4.  Monmouth County, April 20th, 1776. . . 
On Monday the 8th instant, a lusty likely Negro wench was
delivered of a male child, who in memory of a certain
notable Negro chief, is named Dunmore.
Hail! Doughty Ethiopian chief!
Thou ignominious Negro thief!
This black shall prop thy sinking name,
And d[?] thee to perpetual fame.
