They went away together, were taken up in Goshen, and brought down to Meriden, where they all escaped on Monday evening last. A reward of Twenty Dollars will be given for apprehending them, so that their masters have them again, or Ten Dollars for each or or either of them, and all necessary charges paid by Thomas Hall, Andrew Andrus, Aaron Cook. Wallingford, May 19, 1789.
