December 6, 1750:
Whereas Hans Michael Pau, a Dutch boy, about 14 years of age, was last year sold to a person in the country, for seven years; and his mother, not knowing the person's name, or where he lives, desires anybody that knows of said boy, to send notice of him to the Post-Office, Philadelphia, which favours will be thankfully acknowledged, by
Christinia Pau

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 16.
