Virginia Gazette - 1776
Taken up at Mr. THOMAS COWLES ferry landing, in JAMES CITY County, a bay mare about 13 hands and a half high, 9 or 10 years old, with a hanging mane and a switch tail, has had a fistula, and branded on the near buttock IC. The owner may have her on proving his property, and paying charges, of the subscriber, near the place of her being taken up.

RUN away from the Subscriber, in James City, the latter end of July last, a large black Negro fellow names CHARLES, a sawyer by trade, has a large sear in his face, and straddles much in his walk; he is much addicted to running away, was taken up at Hampton in 1776, where he endeavored to pass as a freeman, and was lurking, as I suppose, in order to get the opportunity of some vessels to escape out of the country. As he may have probably made that way now with the same design, I forewarn all masters of vessels from harbouring or employing him; and I will give the person who takes up and brings him to me, or secures him in any prison, TWENTY SHILLINGS, besides the allowance by law.

It gives us PAIN, my Lord, to find that the Indians have made fresh Encroachments and Disturbances on out Frontiers. We have only to request that Your Excellency will be pleased to exert those Powers with which you are fully invested, by the Acts of Assembly for making Provision against Invasions and Insurrections; which we doubt not, will be found sufficient to repel the hostile and perfidious Attempts of those and barbarous Enemies.
