Runaway Slaves, Apprentices and Wives
WIFE ADVERTISED

Run away from Patrick Mac Dallough—Whereas My wife Mrs. Bridget McDallough is again walked away with herself & left me with five small children and her poor blind mother and left no body else to take care of house and home, and I hear has taken up with Tim Guigan the lame fiddler, the same that was put in the stocks last Easter, for stealing Barney Doody’s game cock. This is to give notice that I will not pay for bite or sup on her account to man or mortal, and that she had better never show the marks of her ten toes near my house again.

PATRICK MCDALLOUGH

P.S. Tim had better keep out of my sight.
