From the July 7, 1827 issue of the Elizabeth City Star and North Carolina Eastern Intelligencer

Five Dollars Reward.
Runaway from the subscriber on the night of the 17th of June last, negro girl
HARRIET,
belonging to John Davis.--She is supposed to be lurking in the neighborhood of Nixonton, or Newbegun Creek, where she has a mother living--she is a bright, mulatto, 19 years old, of an audacious impudent temper, slothful and dirty habits--but notwithstanding all these qualities, a great favorite of some people who call themselves gentlemen. The above reward will be given, when secured and delivered to me in Elizabeth-City.
T. E. Krozer.
