From the North Carolina Standard, July 18, 1838
‘TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD. Ran away from the subscriber, a negro woman and two children; the woman is tall and black, and a few days before she went off, I burnt her with a hot iron on the left side of her face; I tried to make the letter M, and she kept a cloth over her head and face, and a fly bonnet on her head so as to cover the burn; her children are both boys, the oldest is in his seventh years; he is a mulatto and has blue eyes; the youngest is black and is in his fifth year. The woman’s name is Betty, commonly called Bet Micajah Ricks Nash County, July 7, 1838 ‘
