​Run away, on the 20th of September last, from Cohansie Bridge, a very big Negroe man, named Sampson, about 50 years of age, has some Indian blood in him, is hip-shot, and goes very lame; he has taken his son with him, a boy about 12 or 14 years of age, named Sam; he was born of an Indian woman, and looks much like an Indian, except in his hair; both belong to Silas Parvin of Philadelphia, and are both well clothed, only the boy is barefoot; they have taken with them a gun and ammunition, and two rugs; can both talk Indian very well, and it is likely they have dressed themselves in Indian dress, and gone towards Carolina.  Whoever secures said slaves, so that their master may have them again, shall have Five Pounds reward, and all reasonable charges, paid by Silas Parvin.
