strong, square built, well-set fellow, talks strong and
coarse, pretty forward, and easily made to laugh, about
five feet four inches high, and between thirty-five and
forty years of age ; has lately had his right arm broke,
and when he went away carried it in a fling; he is by
no means fond of rum, but will drink cyder; and as
he is but just from Motherkill Mills, Kent county,
about nine miles below Dover, on Delaware, and has
a wife thereabout, he may possibly talk of that place:
Had on, when he went away, a light-coloured, short,
coarse cloth coat and waist-coat lined with green baiz,
and trousers of the fame, a wool hat, and good shoes
tied with firings, but possibly may change his dress,
as he had other clothes with him: It is supposed he
is intending for East-Jersey, and possibly New-York,
as he was seen about sixteen miles from Philadelphia
on his way thither: Whosoever secures said negro in
any gaol, so that his inafter may get him again, shall
receive the above reward, and all reasonable charges,
paid by
