Ran away from the Subscriber, living in Glocester county, on
the 31st day of August last, a young, lusty, Negroe man
slave, named Ben, about 5 feet 10 inches high, a very good
ploughman and carter; he has a smooth tongue, and a very
good knack at telling a story.  He has stolen a horse and
saddle, and is supposed to be gone to Col. John Willis's in
Brunswick county, or to North-Carolina.  Whoever secures
him, so that his master may have him again, shall have a
handsome reward, besides what the law allows, paid by
[signed] Francis Willis, Jun.
