PC.768.088
27 Jun-4 Jul 1768:1812 (77)
Sussex County, on Delaware, Three Run Mills, June 23, 1768.
Five Pounds Reward. Ran away from the subscriber, on the
13th of September, 1767, a mulatto slave, named Harry, about
40 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high, and well set: had on
when he went away . . . [2 lines, clothing]; was bred a
miller, and understands very well how to manufacture flour,
and can invoice the same; is much given to strong drink, and
playing on the violin; understands the carpenter's mill-
wright's business middling well; was removed from East-New-
Jersey in the year 1762, by one Nicholas Veghte, who lived
at Rocky-Hill, and kept a mill; and the said fellow has a
free mulatto wife, named Peg, and two children. I expect
they will endeavour to get together, though they did not run
away at one time. It is expected they will endeavour to get
to the Province of East New-Jersey. It is imagined said
mulatto has a pass. . . [terms], by applying to Charles
Wharton, merchant in Philadelphia, or to the subscriber,
living at the aforesaid mills. [signed] Levin Crapper.
