Edenton Gazette, Feb. 26, 1806 February 26, 1806
             $10 REWARD FOR RUNAWAY
   RUN AWAY from Subscriber, on the 24th inst., a Negro man named JIM, aged 23 
years , nearly six feet hight, and very ___-made, dark complexion, speaks very 
quick and plain, he sometimes plays on the fiddle. He had on, when he went 
away, a brown cloth jacket and taw trousers, but it is likely he may change 
them. He formerly belonged to MR. JOHN MOORE of  Perquimans County and I 
suppose he may be lurking about there, or in Edenton. I rather suppose he has 
a free pass. I will give $10 reward to any person that will confine said 
Negero in any gaol so that I can get him again, or $15 if brought to me in 
Bertie County. All masters of vessels are forewarned employing or carrying off 
said Negro at their peril.
