Thirty Dollars Reward.  Ran away last night from the
subscriber, living in Baltimore-Town, an indented servant
man, named John Green, he was born in Ireland, is about 5
feet 9 inches high, and about 24 years of age; he is a
likely, well-made man, and has a very good countenance,
wears his own dark brown hair, smooth faced, and has but
little beard, and a small scar near his mouth, speaks good
English, and writes a good hand;  it is said he has forged a
pass.  He says he served several years in the Earl of
Drogheda's regiment of light dragoons--He arrived here the
3d day of August, 1769.  Took with him when he went away, a
blue cloth coat. . . [9 lines, clothing]; also took with him
a set of shoemakers tools, he being by trade a shoemaker; he
is an exceeding good workman, and, by his own account,
worked some time as a journeyman at the trade; he is also an
excellent fiddler. It is remarkable, when talking, he is apt
to say eath, instead of yes; he may change his clothes; but
the abovementioned scar will make him very remarkable,
except he puts a patch on it.  Inquire for his indenture. .
. [6 lines, terms: seven pounds ten shillings if out of the
county, signed] Joseph Hayward. . .  Baltimore Town, May 1,
1770.
