Ganis julieganis@yahoo.com October 11, 2011, 7:18 pm Old News From Anson County 1817 February 20, 1818, STAR (Raleigh, N.C.) -Twenty Dollars Reward. RANAWAY from the subscriber, near Sneedsborough, (Anson county,) a yellow man slave, by the name of LARRY, about 35 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, straight and slender built, has a small piece taken from one of his ears, and on one of his legs is a large scar. I purchased the said negro from General Gabriel HOLMES, of Sampson county, North Carolina. LARRY is a sensible polite fellow, and I think it probable that he has procured a pass, by which he will attempt to pass for a free man, and most likely will aim for Wilmington in this state, or Norfolk, Virginia, and take shipping; I am informed that he is acquainted at both those places. I forewarn all masters and owners of vessels, from employing or taking him on board, &c. I will pay the above reward to any person who will secure him to any jail, so that I get him, or deliver him to me and all reasonable expences paid. Sneedsborough, N.C. June 30, 1817 H.
