RAN away, on the 18th Instant, from the Plantation of the late Col. William Wilson, deceased, two slaves belonging to the subscriber, the one a tall yellow fellow, named Emanuel, about 6 feet high, six or seven and twenty years of age; hath a scar on the outside of his left thigh, which was cut with an ax; he had on when he went away, a blue jacket, an Ozenbrig [course fabric] shirt and trousers, and a worsted cap; he speaks pretty good English, and calls himself a Portuguese; is by trade a cooper, and took with him some cooper's tools. The other is a short, thick, well-set fellow, stoops forward pretty much when he walks; does not speak so plain as the other; had on when he went away an Ozenbrig pair of trousers and shirt, a white Negro cotton jacket, and took with him an axe. They went away in a small cannoe, and were seen at Capt. Pearson's, on Nuse River, the 18th Inst. and 'tis believ'd are gone towards Virginia. Whoever take up the said Negroes, and brings them to my house on Trent River, North Carolina, or secures them so that I may have them again, shall have four Pistoles reward for each, paid by Mary Wilson
