[ ]. Forty dollars reward. Deserted, the 21st
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. It 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 gaols, 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, paid by Moses Hazen, Col.
