Thirty Dollars Reward.  Ran away last night from the
subscriber, living in Baltimore Town, Maryland, an indented
servant man, named John Green; he was born in Ireland, is
about 5 feet 9 inches high, and about 24 years of age; he is
a likely, well-made man, and has a very good countenance,
wears his own dark brown hair, smooth faced, has but little
beard, a small scar near his mouth, speaks good English, and
writes a good hand;  it is said he forged a pass;  he says
he served several years in the Earl of Drogheda's regiment
of light dragoons;  He arrived here the third day of August,
1769;  took with him, when he went away, a blue cloth coat.
. . [9 lines, clothing]; also, took with him, a set of
shoemaker's tools, he being by trade a shoemaker; he is an
exceeding good workman, and, by his own account, worked some
time as a journeyman at the trade; he is also an excellent
fiddler, and apt to get in liquor;  it is remarkable when
talking he is apt to say eath instead of yes; he may change
his clothes; but the above-mentioned scar will make him very
remarkable, except he puts a patch on it;  inquire for his
indenture. . . [6 lines, terms: five pounds if taken in the
county, seven pounds ten shillings if out of the county,
signed] Joseph Hayward. 
N.B. He goes by the name of John Grey.
