York-town, York county, Sept, 2, 1756. Run away from Joseph
Chambers, of York-town, a well-set active Negroe fellow,
named James, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, and speaks
good English: Had on a brown coloured coat, lined with
white coloured calimancoe, a brown jacket, lined with
Bristol snuff, coarse shirt and trowsers, old shoes, and a
hat, but I know not what sort. Whoever secures said fellow
in any goal, so as his master may have him again, shall have
forty shillings reward, and reasonable charges, if taken in
this province, and three pounds if taken out of it, paid by
[signed] Joseph Chambers.
N.B. He can beat a drum, and has a great desire to be
amongst soldiers. He has been seen near Philadelphia, and
is supposed to be in or about town. Whoever secures him as
aforesaid, shall be paid as mentioned above, by Joseph Bell,
at the Harp and Crown, in Third-street, Philadelphia.
