Deserted from Capt. Wm. King's company, Col. Jon. Ward's
regiment, one Tilleson Miller, a drummer, he is about 30
years old, 5 feet 6 inches high, has a peaked chin, and
something of a guilty look, he has liv'd for about a year or
two past with Col. Patridge, of Hatfield, it is said his
father lives at a place called Pellam, he is not well versed
in the art of drumming, and it seems he deserted purely
because he had nothing else to do. Whoever will take up
said deserter, and confine him in goal, or return him to his
company at New York, shall have five dollars reward and all
reasonable charges pain by [signed] Wm. King, Capt. New
York, June 15, 1776.
