Ran away from the Subscriber, living in Queen-Anne's County,
Maryland, the first of this instant May, two servants, viz.
   One named John Jackson, about 50 years of age, well-set,
about 5 feet 8 inches high, and pitted with the small-pox. 
Had on and with him, a blue cloth coat, a brown jacket, a
pair of lightish colour'd breeches, lined with shammey
leather, an under country kersey jacket, without sleeves,
and a pair of country kersey breeches, two coarse shirts,
and one white ditto, a pair of shoes and stockings, a hat
and wig, and a scotch bonnet.  He is a bag pipe player, and
has a set of pipes with him.
  Mary Jackson, a lusty woman, 40 years of age or
thereabouts, born in England, but speaks much like a Scotch
woman, of a brown complexion. . . [6 lines, clothing]
   The above servants are man and wife, and are supposed to
have some money with them. 
   Whoever apprehends them, and secures them so as their
master may get them again, shall receive a reward of ten
shillings for each, besides what the law allows, if taken in
the county; if out of the county, and in the Province,
twenty shillings for each; if out of the province, a pistole
for each or either, paid by William Clayton.
