New-London, North-Parish, Octo. 11th, 1775.  Last Sabbath-
morning, a Negro lad named Jordan, about 19 years old
servant to the Rev'd David Jewitt of said parish, ran away,
with a view to join the regulars, as is supposed from his
frequently wishing that he was with then.-- He is of
middling stature, speaks quick and stammering; . . . He had
a fife, which is likely he took with him.
