Run away from the subscriber in Rockbridge county, a mulatto
slave named Saul, about 6 feet high, had on and took with
him, a coarse country linen shirt and trousers, an old red
coat, light cloth do. a felt hat, with a silver button on
it, old shoes, a fine shirt, stockings and some other
clothes; he took a new scythe with him. I purchased him of
Mr. John Teakel of the Eastern shore, in the year 1778. I
expect he will endeavour to go down there again, if not
taken up; perhaps he will try to pass for a free man,
delights much in a fiddle, and pretends to know something of
the carpenters business. He is about 25 years of age. I
will give 1000 dollars reward for him if taken any where
this side of Richmond, if secured so that I get him again,
and if taken below that place 2000 dollars. [signed] John
Bowyer.
