RAN away on the 10th of April Inst. past from Daniel Cook, of Long Island, a Negro Woman, about 20 years old, speaks good English, born on Long Island, about midding stature, she is a likely wench, had a large pack of cloaths, strip'd short gown, and several callico gowns; has chang'd her dress for man's cloaths, and was seen to have a blue broadcloth coat, and the remainder of her cloaths appears to be man's as she had about 3 or 4 pounds in money-had rings in her ears. Whoever will take up said Negro, and secure her in any of his Majesty's goals, so that I can receive said negro, shall have a reward of FOUR DOLLARS, and all necessary charges paid by me. May 14, 1770. DANIEL COOK.
