TEN DOLLARS REWARD. Run away from the subscriber living in Simsbury, in Hartford county, on the day before the election at Hartford, a negro man about 27 years of age, about 5 feet and 8 inches high, and lisps some in his speech; had on when he went away a brown coat and red waist coat, a white Holland shirt, a new caster hat, a new pair of leather breeches, a pair of blue stockings, carried away with him a blue vest, two pair of stockings the one pale blue the other deep blue, two pair of shoes. Whoever shall take up said negro and return him to me shall have ten dollars reward and necessary charges paid, or secure him in any of his majesty’s goals and send me word so that I may have him again shall have five dollars reward and necessary charges paid, by                                                                                                                                   TIMOTHY MOSES N.B. His fore teeth are gone––he carried a fiddle with him.  All persons are hereby forbid to harbour said negro on penalty of the law. Hartford Courant May 17 1774
