On the morning of the 19th inst. eloped from her husband, living in Schenectada, Katharine Knox, his wife; her only provocation was being instigated by evil advisers, &c. This is therefore to caution all persons from trusting or crediting her, as I am determined to pay none of her debts from this date; and also forbid all persons harbouring her at thier peril. And as her elopement was neither occasioned by quarrel or any matter of discord or provocation, the public are begged to suspend their opinion until they enquire into the circumstances. Joseph Knox. Schenectada, May 23, 1776.
