Mr. C. said (October 17, 1817)
Ran away on Saturday night last
a light mulatto boy named Isaac
about 17 or 18 years of age
5 feet 9 or 10 inches high
or thereabouts
wore a great deal of straight and long hair on his head
dark eyes and
turns pale when slightly alarmed
had on a dark brown coat and a fur hat
took with him several linen shirts with ruffles and
a large dark brown great coat with belt and straps.
…
It is probable that he has gone on
board one of the Potomac wood boats
or has made his way
to Baltimore or Alexandria
with a view to
go to
sea.
