Whereas my wife Margaret hath some time ago eloped from my bed and board and still continues absent, this is therefore to forewarn all persons from harboring the said Margaret, or trusting her anything on my account, as I am determined not to pay any debts of her contracting.

John Smith

N.B. The above Margaret is the daughter of Samuel Percefield and Nancy his wife, near a town of Jonesborough, and is supposed to make her elopement with a certain Peter Purcefield, the said Samuel's brother's son.
