Article Text: Run away from Ezekiel BALDING of Hempstead on Long-Island, one Indian man slave, named Dick, of middle stature and of a smiling countenance. He speaks English pretty well, and no other language. He can read. He has a big nose, and has white scratches on his arm, and a blue spot on the inside of one of his wrists, a little above his shirt wrist-bands. He run away about the beginning of September, and had a home-spun shirt and a dark coloured drugget coat. We have been informed, that he intended to get into Indian habit. Others tell that he has said he would go towards New-London and Rhode-Island, and so to sea. Whoever can take up the said Indian man, and secure him, and give notice to his master so that he can be had again, shall have three pounds reward, besides reasonable charges. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
