From the subscriber in Mercer county on thursday 24th of November 1790, a negro man named Phil, about twenty five years old, well set, and about five feet six or seven inches high, has a round face, flat nose, wide mouth, and thick lips when he laughs, he generally draws up his nose, and shews most of his teeth, which are very white, had on when he went off, an old hat, a linsey hunting shirt and coat of the same stuff, both dyed a sooty colour, a jump jacket, an old shirt, leather breeches, blue and white yarn stockings, a pair of wrappers, a pair of old shoes, and a pair of brass buckles—it is expected he has taken other clothes with him and will change his dress. Five pounds reward will be given to any person that takes him a live and delivered safe to me, or ten pounds for his head sever’d from his body, to be paid in cattle at cash price.
