10 May 1783:11 (1/73)
Ran away form the subscriber, near Blandford, in Prince
George County, the 21st of April, a likely Negro man named
Jacob; he had on when he went away, a lighthorseman's cap
with white hairs, a Virginia cloth jacket and breeches, dyed
black, a striped copperas under jacket with white backs, a
Virginia cloth coat filled in with white cotton and blue
wool mixed, and a pair of boot legs; he carried with him a
fiddle, a fife, and a set of shoemakers tools, and can make
shoes, or turn his hand to any thing; he has a scar on his
leg occasioned by fire when he was young, and speaks
inwardly and hoarse. He went away with a white woman named
Pat Cwanneller, who has a remarkable fore leg. I imagine
they will both change their names, and make to the lower
part of the country. Whoever brings the said Negro to me,
or confines him so that I get him, shall have ten dollars
reward. [signed] Anthony Williams.
