named YOE, about 46 years old, 5 sect
9 or loinches high, 21 Him straight lellow,
who has a Very siuoosh way of speaking,
and when in liquor pretends to be very re—
ligious; he can read print very well, is a
great liar, and will deceive any one that
is not acquainted with him. He formerly
ran away from Virginia, and was in molt
parts of Carolina, whither I have reason
to think he is now gone, as one Robin/bn,
who said he came from Caralina, that very
night stole one of my neighbour's horses,
and went off . The said Robinson ] believe
to be a great rogue, and may pret'end the
negro is his, to get him away. foe stole
from me- a black horse about 14 or 15 years
old, very gray about his ears, and pace:
naturally. He had on, when I saw him
last, apair of leather breechea, a huntih
shirt, ]eggins, and old shoes; but as I be
lieve he has been some time preparing for
his journey, it is probable he has Other
clothes with him. Whoever takes up the
said negro and horse, and secures them
so as I get them again, shall have 40 :.
reward, is taken in Virginia, and if in
