New-Haven, March 13, 1764. RUN away last Night, from Ralph Isaacs, a lusty Negro Man: He had on when he went away, a Coat trim'd with Green, and white Lace, brown Cloth Breeches, Check'd Woolen Shirt; took with him a blue Cloth Coat, with a red Cape, a white Shirt, with a wide Collar and Ristbands, talks bad English and broken French. Whoever will take up said Negro, and send him, or secure him so that his Master may have him again, shall be well rewarded.
