    SLAVE RESISTANCE

    Norfolk & Portsmouth Herald, January 1, 1830

    $100 REWARD.

    I will give 100 dollars for the apprehension and confinement in any Jail, my negro man NED, who ranaway from me about the first of April last. He is about five feet 9 or 10 inches high, stout, and well made, a smooth black skin, has lost one of his front teeth and is about 23 years of age. He has a wife near Princess Anne Court House, at Mrs. James’, but was seen at the Canal at Deep Creek, about 3 weeks ago, and no doubt may be in that neighborhood now.

    Princess Anne, June 3
