N[ ]. Forty dollars reward. Deserted, the 2[ ] instant,
from my Regiment, now on its march to Charlestown, No 4 in
the State of New Hampshire the following persons, viz, John
M'Colgain, drummer, born in Ireland, about 5 feet 3 inches
high, about 22 years of age and much pitted with the small
pox. John Wright drummer, born in England about 5 feet 2
inches high about 17 or 18 years of age, and a little pitted
with the small pox. They had on, when they went away, white
coats faced with pale-blue, white jacket, and dark coloured
breeches. I[ ] is supposed they will make for some sea port
town in this State or that of Connecticut. Whoever takes up
the said deserters, and secures them in any of the county
goals, so that they may be had again or brings them to the
regiment at Charlestown, No. 4, shall receive the above
reward, or Twenty Dollars for each, and reasonable charges,
