Much Given to Strong Liquor, and Low Company

Autor Joseph Lee Boyle
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Runaway servants were not an uncommon phenomenon in the 18th century. One source estimates that between 20-25% of indentured servants fled their masters. More Pennsylvanians fled indentured servitude between 1773 and 1775 than during any comparable three-year period. From the genealogist's standpoint, this presents a methodological problem since it was in the runaway's best interest to conceal his/her identity after making a successful getaway. Joseph Lee Boyle's transcriptions of the runaway ads, taken from thirty-two different colonial newspapers (including papers from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, and New York) and covering the period 1773-1775, provide valuable demographic information on about 3,500 individuals, with name, age, sex, height, plate of origin, clothing, occupation, speech, physical imperfections, and sometimes personal vignettes.
