Raleigh Minerva 1811
Fri., May 17, 1811
STOLEN!
    From the subscribers in Sparta, Hancock County, Ga., two horses, one black 
and the other, grey; the former has, as well as recollected, a few saddle 
spots on his back, rather upwards of five feet high, nicked and roached, 
considerably wind galled, pleasantly gated, pace, fact. The latter is rather 
taller, very gay and sprightly; the right ear, sorrel, marked in a similar 
manner on the right side of his neck; branded on the mounting side of the neck 
and the right thigh with the letter, R; trots and canters tolerable well, runs 
elegantly in harness. Whosoever will deliver the said horses, if found without 
the State to DR. RIDLEY of Granville County, N. Carolina, or to the 
subscribers in Sparta, Hancock County, Georgia, shall be entitled to $50 
Reward, and $100 Dollars for the conviction of the thief.
   We will observe the grey horse was formerly owned by a MR. NICHOLSON of 
Petersburg, Va.; and a MR. SAMUEL BRODNAX of Amelia County, Va.
