Whereas I, the subscriber, intending for the Southern parts of this Continent, my wife Mary refusing to go along with me, and five small children, born of her own body, she also threatens to contract debts, and not clear bills on me, after I am gone; to prevent which, I do hereby give notice to all persons whomsoever, not to credit her on my account after this date, whether I go or not.

I am not related to this family, I am just passing on this information, which comes from a book titled "Runaway Women, Elopements And Other Miscreant Deeds, As Advertised In The Pennsylvania Gazette - 1728 -1789. (together with a few abused wives and unfortunate children)." Compiled by Judith Ann Highley Meier. Published by Closson Press. 1993. Page 64.
