Article Text: Run away from Francis BLOODGOOD a Madagascar Negro man, named Tom, of a middle size, well-set, and near 30 years old; he speaks pretty good English, and can read: We hear he has got a sort of an Indenture, whereby he pretends to be free. Had on when he went away, a lightish colour'd Great Coat, a plain brown streight-bodied coat, red waistcoat without sleeves, buckskin breeches without a seam between the legs, and a coarse grey cap. Whosoever takes up and secures the said negro, so that his master may have him again, shall have three pounds reward, and all reasonable charges paid by me. Francis BLOODGOOD N. B. As he is a cunning fellow, the person who takes him up is desired to be cautious, lest he deceive them. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
