Joseph Lee Boyle has heretofore faithfully transcribed runaway servant ads placed in the colonial newspapers for the Middle Atlantic colonies of Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. With this book he picks up the trail of servants who ran away from a New York master or servants having another connection to New York; included are transcriptions of more than 1,500 ads for missing persons, referencing more than 3,000 persons with New York connections. Besides white male and female runaways this work cites a number of runaway apprentices, both men and women, military deserters, horse thieves, burglars, jail breakers, and perpetrators of serious offenses.
