Cecil County, Maryland, March 18, 1753. Four pounds reward,
besides legal dues. Run away last night from the
subscribers, two servant fellows, one a noted convict, named
Jacob Parrot, of low stature, fair complexion, very
talkative and bold, and so artful that he had like to have
imprisoned a person in Lancaster, when he ran away last
year, by virtue of an advertisement published about himself,
by which pretence he got clear there, but was at last taken
up in St. Mary's county, and send home from prison to his
(then) master, the Rev. Mr. Hugh Jones; perhaps he will make
for that county again, having a wife there; all people are
cautioned to beware of him, he being a notorious cheat; to
took with him a brown gelding. . . [10 lines, description of
horse, clothes] and a wallet with meat, &c.
. . . [8 lines, another servant described, reward] twenty
shillings for each, and the same for the horses, besides
what the law allows, paid by [signed] Otho Othoson, or John
Tree.
