Peter

Run away last night from his master, John Williams of Somers, a negro servant named Peter, a stout well set fellow, betwixt 30 and 40 years of age, very black, he took a considerable quantity of cloathing with him. He can read and write well, it is not unlikely he may have a forg'd pass; he can play well upon a fiddle, and took a good one with him. If any person will take him up and bring him to his said master, they shall have 8 dollars reward, per me, John Williams. Somers, August 12, 1773.
