Junuary 29, 1767:
If JUDY, otherwise SUSANNAH CADDEN, daughter of CHARLES CADDEN, of Clougher, in the
county of Tyrone, and Province of Ulster, in Ireland, who came to Philadelphia about 16
years ago, with one ROBERT WALLACE, be alive, she is desired to write to her Brother
Philip Cadden, Corporal in Captain Balter's Company in Halifax; and to Daniel
O'Murphey living on Maguire's Bridge, near Lisnasgay, in Fermanaugh County,
Ireland. And if said Judy is dead, and said Robert Wallace knows where and when she
died, whether married or not, and in what circumstances, he is requested to transmit an
Account thereof to the above-mentioned Persons, which will be esteemed a particular
Favour.
I am not related to this family, I am just passing on this information, which comes
from a book titled "Runaway Women, Elopements And Other Miscreant Deeds, As
Advertised In The Pennsylvania Gazette - 1728 -1789. (together with a few abused wives
and unfortunate children)." Compiled by Judith Ann Highley Meier. Published by
Closson Press. 1993. Page 47.
