Run away from the subscriber, in October last, a middle
sized Negro woman, about 35 years of age, has a few specks
of black about the lower part of her face, some scars on her
breast, and has a very impertinent countenance; she was
formerly the property of Mr. Morse, at Poquoson. Her common
dress, when she went away, was blue plains. I expect she
may be in Norfolk or Hampton. Whoever secures the above
Negro in any of his Majesty's gaols shall receive a reward
of twenty shillings from me, in Williamsburg. [signed] John
Draper.
*** She is fond of liquor, and apt to sing indecent and
sailors songs when so. It is probable she will endeavour to
pass for a free woman. All masters of vessels and others
are hereby forewarned from harbouring the said Negro.
