Run away from Robert Alison, of Charles-town, in Maryland, a
convict servant, named Edward Bradshaw, a good likely
fellow, and has the remains of a genteel dress, is a good
clerk, professes himself a limner, and is supposed to paint
tolerably well, has an uncommon cast in one of his eyes,
plays a fiddle well, and generally carries one with him;
also went in company with him, one Joseph Thornton, a
convict servant, a thick short fellow, dressed as a sailor,
which he pretends to be but is not. 'Tis said they went
thro' Chester on Sunday the 21st of March, with a party of
recruits to Philadelphia. Bradshaw enlisted with Serjeant
Hill, and proof being made that he was a convict, was
restored to his master, as appears by the following receipt
. . . [12 lines, reward, thirty shillings for each, signed
by Robert and Francis Alison.]
