1 Jul 1773:71 (1451)
May 24, 1773. Ran away, last night, from the subscriber,
living in Garrison forest, about 10 miles from Baltimore, in
Maryland, a mulatto slave named Jack, about 5 feet 9 or 10
inches high, of a thin visage and slender make, with his
knees bent in one against the other, commonly called knock-
knee'd, and has a scar on his right cheek: had on, and took
with him, when he went away, a white kersey jacket and
breeches, a pair of leather ditto, a blue cloth coat, a dark
brown Devonshire kersey great coat, three osnabrig shirts,
two white holland ditto, one pair of osnabrig trousers, a
pair of dark brown ribb'd silk stockings, brown worsted and
Negro yarn ditto, a pair of half worn shoes, another pair
nailed in the soles, and a felt hat; he plays on the violin.
Whoever takes up the said slave, and secures him, so that
his master may get him again, shall receive, if in the
province, three pounds, and if out of the province ten
pounds, and all reasonable charges, paid by [signed] George
Risteau. w4
N.B. It is supposed the above runaway carried off with
him, from Gardiner's tavern, about eight miles from
Baltimore, a dark bay horse, . . .
