Western Spectator, December 21, 1811
Ten Dollars Reward.
Ran away, on the 9th inst. from the Subscriber, of
Washington's Bottom, Wood County,Virginia, a Negro Girl named Phillis, about
twenty four years old, five feet five inches high, a dark yellow complexion; on
the back of her right wrist, she has a long fresh scar, when walking bends her
head forward, a downcast look and naturally very active. She had on and took with her, a blue cotton
and a white cambric gown, a linen, a calico and a humhum petticoat; a dimity
and a red calico jacket, a large leno and a large dark colored shawl, an old
linsey habit and a pair of calf-skin shoes, with sundry other articles too
numerous to mention. She has lived at
Parkersburgh two years in a tavern, with Dean and Baily, and will probably be
known to many.
Any person
who will bring the girl to me, or secure her so that I can get her, will be
entitled to the above reward. If she is
brought home, all expences will be paid exclusive of the reward.
John H. Harwood.
Washington's Bottom, Dec. 13, 1811.
