Run away from my plantation in Dinwiddie county, about the
20th of June last, a likely Negro man named Tom, about 23
years of age, five feet eight or ten inches high, of a light
complexion, thick lips, a little bow-legged, and has a large
scar on the right side of his head, with one of his lower
fore teeth out. He is by trade a blacksmith, is very
sensible, and fond of whistling, which he performs in a
peculiar manner with his tongue. Whoever will deliver the
said slave to me at Battersea, near Petersburg, shall
receive a reward of one hundred dollars, or more in
proportion to their trouble. [signed] John Banister.
