Caesar, approximately 1749-

In 1799, Caesar was about 50 years old. The only record of Caesar’s appearance comes from a runaway advertisement, placed by Washington’s farm manager, which describes Caesar as, “a black negro man about 45 or 50 years of age, and about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high; has a sharp aquiline nose, and some of his foreteeth stand out... his usual dress is home-spun black and white.”
