twenty five years of age, five feet ten or eleven inches
high, was inoculated for the small pox last May and
bears the marks very plain in his face. He was formerly
the property of Mr. Drvid Rurfell, merchant, in Bland
ford, who purchased him of Mis, Jane Vobe, in Willi
amsburg, and he is well known by most gentlemen who
frequented the General Courts in that city. His dreis
when he went off was a blue cloth coat, buff jacket and
leather breeches, shoe boots, &c. but as he carried
away sundry other cloaths, and is a sensible fellow, no
doubt he will change his dref's and endeavour to pass as
a freeman. He probably mayrhave procured a pass, as
he did once before when he eloped, in which he changed
his name to William Byrd, .alias Matthew Davenport.
His address being very clever as a waiting-man he may
probably endeavour to hire himfolf to some gentleman.
