Old News From Anson County 1815
February 3, 1815, STAR (Raleigh, N.C.)
-30 DOLLARS REWARD.  RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 8th inst., two 
Negroes, SAM and AMY.  Sam is an African fellow, thirty five or forty years of 
age, speaks English tolerably plain, and about a middle stature.  Amy is about 
21 or 22 years of age, a small woman, yellow complection and is marked with 
the small pox.  One pit on the end of her nose, appears as if a small bit was 
taken out, keen black eyes, delicate appearance, having been brought up a 
house servant - she will aim for Norfolk from whence I have lately brought 
her.  She ran away from me in July last, twelve miles west from 
Murfreesborough, being on my way home from Norfolk, she reached Norfolk in 
about two weeks, where she was committed to Jail.  The fellow will no doubt 
accompany her.  They will aim for the following rout, Fayetteville, 
Averasborogh, Raleigh, Murfreesborough, or Winton.  The probability is , that 
Amy will leave Sam after a few days traveling, under the idea of passing for a 
free person, as she is a yellow girl.  I will give the above reward to any 
person who will secure them in any Jail in this State so that I get them 
again, or if taken separately twenty dollars for Amy and ten dollars for Sam.
