Run away from Burwell's Ferry, about the 1st of February
last, a Negro boy named Pompey, about eighteen years old,
five feet three inches high, remarkably black, and
proportionately made; he is a native of Africa, speaks
English tolerably, stoops when he walks, and plays on the
French horn. He had on a dark coloured duffil short coat,
waistcoat, and breeches, and I have been informed he went on
board a country craft up James River; he has been bred to
the sea, . . . [50 shillings reward, signed] John Goodrich,
Junior.
