Old News From Anson County 1809
October 19, 1809, STAR (Raleigh, N.C.)
RAN-AWAY From the subscriber on the 10th day of September, a bright mulatto 
fellow by the name of RALPH.  He is about 35 years old - a number of his fore 
teeth are missing - several before, so as to disqualify him from chawing 
anything hard.  He has a very down look.  He had on when he left me cotton 
clothes, except his coat, which was cotton cambrick, of a brown colour, made 
in the present fashion.  The coat had a pocket on the inside of the left 
lappell. -He is about five feet, eight or ten inches high - thick built. I 
expect he will attempt to pass for a free man, and, perhaps, aim for Richmond, 
in Virginia, where he was raised.  He left his former master, whose name was 
JEFFREY, (lived in South Carolina,) and passed for a free man for about 
fifteen months in the counties of Duplin, Bladen, and Jones, where he was at 
length taken up and committed to Wilmington Jail, where his master got him.  
And person who will confine said Negro in Jail in this state so I get him 
again, shall receive a reward of ten dollars, and if delivered to me in 
Wadesborough, 25 dollars.

Wadesborough, Sept. 25, 1809.
