Run away from the subscriber, on the 15th of April, a Negro
man named Jack, belonging to Mr. John Fox, of Gloucester
county, who I am informed he purchased of the estate of one
Mr. Stubbs of said county. He is by trade a shoemaker, and
once worked with Mr. Robert Gilbert in Williamsburg, is fond
of the violin, and has taken with him a new one, which his
master lately gave him; he is about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches
high, very black, well proportioned, has large white eyes,
is a cunning, artful fellow, and if apprehended will
endeavour to make his escape. His cloathing was the same as
that of other labouring Negroes. I will give forty
shillings to any person that will bring the said fellow to
me, at Warwick ferry, on James river, besides paying all
reasonable expenses. [signed] Thomas Pemble.
*** All persons are hereby forewarned from harbouring or
entertaining him, --He is well acquainted in Williamsburg
and Gloucester, and in many other places in this colony.
