"The Pennsylvania Gazette, November 9, 1752. No. 1246.
Run away from John Carman, of Northampton, in Burlington
county, on the 6th of October last, an English servant man,
nam'd William Taylor, about 5 foot 6 inches high, of a brown
complexion, is a thin man, his hair cut off, and stutters much
when he talks fast: Had on when he went away, an old light
colour'd camblet jacket, old worsted breeches, partly of the
same colour, old homespun shirt, old blue stockings, and old
shoes, with a patch on each. Whoever takes up said servant
and secures him so that his master may have him again shall
have Forty Shillings reward, and reasonable charges, paid by
John Carman"
This John Carman should be the one and the same John Carman
who married Anne Stockton. He was the only son of Jacob
Carman born in 1723. His son, John was not born till after
this particular incident.
