August 2d, 1760.  Twenty Pounds Reward, ran away from the
subscriber, living in Alexandria, Fairfax County, Virginia,
a convict servant man named John Murphy, born in Ireland,
about 5 feet 4 inches high, well made, by trade a joiner, of
a dark complexion, has a large beard, large eye-brows, and
is pale; he speaks proper English, and much to the purpose;
he has been upon the stage, is deem'd to sing extremely, and
appears to be the compleat gentleman.  He will perhaps
change his occupation, as he is acquainted with many
branches in the mechanical way.  He has with him a pair of
black knit breeches, fine cotton stockings, a fine hat, and
several good wigs.  Whoever takes up the said servant, and
delivers him to me, shall have twenty pounds reward, paid by
[signed] John Patterson.
