Thirty Dollars Reward. Ran away from Chestnut hill, the residence of the subscriber, in Fairfax county, a Negro Woman named Hannah. She is about 26 or 27 years of age, rather above the middle stature, slender, and very black. Her wool was cut short on the fore part of her head, and she has lost one of her lower fore teeth & the rest have a loose appearance. She is an excellent cook, and understands all kinds of house work. She ran away first in March 1812, was brought home, and went again in April, and staid til August, when she was taken up at the house of one Thorpe, in George-Town, where she passed for a free woman, calling herself Mary, and was there put in jail – a short time after being brought home, she escaped again, and was for some time after in Alexandria. When she was brought home in August she had the appearance of expecting an increase to her family sometime about January, and if she has not destroyed it, she has probably a young Child now. Catharine Brown. March 18, 1813.
