Taken up as a Run Away,
On the 15th December inst.
A NEGRO MAN, who calls himself Henry Heywood, and says is a freeman, and lived with a certain Mr. Reyley, who was with the British army at York in Virginia, was there taken at the surrender of that place; and came away with Continental troops. He is a black fellow, marked with the small-pox, about five feet nine inches high, had on a blue coat lined with red, linen drawers, an old felt hat ; says he formerly lived in Maryland. He seems to understand house work best, and is very handy at that. The owner, if any he hath, is desired to come, pay charges, and take him away, within the space of six weeks, otherwise he will be discharged according to law, by JOHN TOTTEN, Constable
