– August 23, 1769 – Ran away from the Plantation of Walter Dulany, Esq; in the Fork of Gunpowder, on the 21st of this instant, two Welsh Convict Servant Men, viz.
William Voice, a planter by trade, about 45 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches high, of a swarthy complexion, has a mole on his right cheek, black eyes, some scars on his face, on his right arm the representation of a crucifix, with the figures 1760, and the two first letters of his name, put on with Indian Ink:
Had on, and took with him, a Dutch cap, a buff coloured cloth upper jacket, with round top’d yellow metal buttons, a light coloured brown under ditto, a fine linen shirt, much patched, a coarse linen one, much wore, a pair of osnabrig trousers, a pair of worn white yarn stockings, a pair of turn’d pumps, almost new, and carved yellow buckles; he took with him Two plastering trowels, and one mason’s ditto, with a lathing hammer; he is insinuating fair spoken fellow when sober, but when drunk (which he will be if he can get Liquor) is impudent, noisy, and turbulent,
Henry Greefes, about 40 years of age, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, of a redish complexion, is a slow spoken fellow, and sometimes stammers in his speech: (Description of his clothing he had on).
NB They stole a pair of plain silver sleeve buttons, a pair of carved plate buckles, and Indian Blanket, two bridles, and will probably steal two horses. William Voice has a forged pass, by which he will endeavor to pass for a free man, by the name of William Brown. Whoever takes up the said Runaways, and delivers them to the subscriber, or secures them in any jail, shall receive 40 shillings reward for each.
