12 Jun 1755:33 (1381)
Philadelphia, May 29, 1755. Run away from the subscriber,
living in the town of Reading, in Berks county, on the 22d
inst. an Irish servant man, named Philip Carter, near 30
years of age, about 5 feet 10 inches high: Had on when he
went away, an old green damask jacket, coarse trowsers, new
shoes, with brass buckles, an ozenbrigs shirt and a felt
hat; he wears his own hair, and a black ribbon about his
neck; he took with him an old pair of pumps, and a white
shirt. He was lately enployed by Captain Staats Long
Morris, in several parts of this province, as a drummer,
having formerly served as such in the army; his wife having
absconded a few days before, 'tis supposed he has taken her
with him: She is a thick, short Irish woman, about 22 years
of age, indifferently clothed, and has with her a child,
about 6 weeks old. Whoever takes up the said servant man,
and secures him, so as his master may have him again, shall
have four pounds reward, and reasonable charges, paid by me
[signed] George Douglass.
