He professes to be a very devout Baptist. Having purchased him in Montgomery county, not far from Stokes' Ferry, my opinion is, that he is in that neighborhood.

NegroesMr. Davis appears to have been placing this ad to notify the public of the sale of twelve slaves. This sale is described as being "pursuant to an order of the Court" in Surry County, so we can assume that Davis was carrying out the sale in response to that court order., Consisting of a likely fellow, two women, and nine well grown children The purchasers will be required to give bond with approved security.

$50 reward
RANAWAY from the subscriber two negro slaves, viz TONEY and JOHN.Mr. More is placing this ad because two enslaved men, Toney and John, ran away from him while they were en route to the western part of the state. He is advertising a fifty dollar reward in an attempt to entice subscribers to assist him in the recapture of these two men. Toney is about 35 years of age, fife feet nine or ten inches high, dark complexion, square and stout build and had on when he left, a bright drab Petersham overcoat. He was purchased by me of Mr. Richard Brasley (sp?) of Wilmington, and calls himself Toney Montague. John is about twenty years of age, of rather lighter complexion than Toney, about five feet 10 inches high, and is quite stout b____ -- he has a full round face, and has lost two front teeth above and below which is his most distinguishing mark. He had on when he left, a light grey woolen round Jacket and pantaloons.
The above slaves left the camp of the subscriber while on his way to the Western country, eight miles above Lincolnton, on 28t of last month, and will no doubt endeavor to make their way back to Wilmington. The above reward will be given for their apprehension, so that I get them again.

Cash for negroes
THE Subscriber will purchase any number of likely young NEGROES during the next six months, for which liberal prices in cash will be givenMr. Glen is notifying the public that he will purchase any number of slaves at "liberal prices" over the next six months. Since we know that Mr. Glen was a slave trader, it is almost certain that he intended to resell these individuals rather than putting them to work on his own property..
I wish all letters on business, addressed to me at Germanton, Stokes County.
