MG-A(G.773.060
26 Aug 1773:22 (1459)
August 16, 1773. Ran away yesterday morning from the
subscriber, living on Seneca, Frederick county, near the
Widow Dowden's tavern, a convict servant man, named John
Gardner, about 24 years of age, and about 5 feet 8 or 9
inches high, dark complexion, gray eyes, is very talkative,
and has a very bad scald head: Had on and took with him,
old felt had, osnabrig shirt much patched, old striped
linsey jacket, white drab breeches, cotton stockings, and
good shoes: he pretends to act the slight of hand, so I
imagine he will pass for a show-man, and probably may forge
a pass. Whoever takes up the said servant, and secures him,
so that his master gets him again, shall receive twenty
shillings reward, besides what the law allows, and
reasonable charges if brought home, paid by [signed]
Greenbury Griffith. w3.
