Northfield, April 22, 1779. 140 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 25 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 jackets, and dark coloured breeches; it is
supposed they will make for some of the sea-port towns of
this state, or that of Connecticut; . . . [23 more lines,
