Transcript
To the Public. IN the fall of the year 1808 a young man by the name of Isaac Manly went from August county, Virginia, to Sumner county, west Tennessee, and in 1809 into Christian county, Kentucky; and afterwards in the spring 1810, went to the Lead Mines in Louisiana, with goods, and from thence, in February or March 1811, went down the country with horses; since which time he has not been heard of by his friends in Virginia. They are very anxious to hear from him; as he may also hear of something interesting to himself if living. Any person who can give any account of him since the Spring 1811, dead or living, addressed to Editor of the Republican Farmer, Staunton Virginia, it will be considered as an act of social kindness, and highly gratifying to his friends. P. S. He was raised in the neighbourhood of Petersburg, Va. and lived some time in Augusta county; is about six feet high, stout made, hair something sandy or fair, fresh coloured, and about 30 years of age. April 21-31.
