Whereas my son, aged three years, fair complexion, blue eyes, light hair, long body, his nose inclined to be flat,; was feloniously taken from me on the 4th of February last, there is no doubt but that he was stolen by some of the family of McNEILLS in Anson county, or carried into South Carolina. Likewise, I forewarn all persons from harboring my Infant on the penalty of the Law. The reward of Twenty Dollars will be paid to any person who will bring him to me in Moore county, on the Atkin road that leads to Fayetteville, and all reasonable expences paid.
