Elijah Sheild

Run away from his master, on the 17th of April last, apprentice boy named Elijah Sheild; he is about 15 years old, of a small size, lightish countenance: had on when he eloped, a red shagged great coat, a grey home made coat and jacket and sheepskin breeches; carried with him two felt hats and two pair of shoes. Whoever shall take up said boy and return him to his master, shall have three dollars reward, and no charges paid, by me NOAH SABIN. Monson, May 2, 1776.
