The other of middle stature has sharp shins with bumps upon them. They are both cloathed in new double breasted jackets, white stockings, new shoes, and new hats. They took with them a gun and a fowling piece, two white horses with sadles and furniture. Whoever shall sieze and secure the said two negroes for the master Sir William KEITH Bart. shall be very well rewarded and all charges allowed. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
