PG-P.755.099
29 May 1755:53 (1379)
Philadelphia, May 22. 1755. Run away, on the eighth day of
last month, from Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, a
servant man, nam'd Thomas Lane, about five feet high: Had
on when he went away, an old felt hat, old light colour'd
jacket, with two large patches on the shoulders, an old red
jacket under it, ozenbrigs shirt, old leather breeches, and
old shoes with strings; he is a shoemaker by trade, can
play on the fiddle, and dance, and loves liquor. He ran
away from the master he formerly liv'd with, and was
discovered by his barking like a dog, and crowing like a
cock. Whoever takes up said servant, and brings him home to
his master, or secures him, so as his master may have him
again, shall have thirty shillings reward, and reasonable
charges, paid by me [signed] John Wood.
N.B. He was seen about a week after he went away at the
Forks of Delaware; and when in liquor he is subject to fits.
