1. Enslaved Person's Name: John
   Sex: Male
   Age: "about 25 years of age"
   Date of Birth: circa 1755
   Status: Broke out of jail
   Description:
   Notes: John had been jailed in Newtown as a suspected escaped slave. He claimed he was serving with a Continental Army regiment. He broke out of jail along with a white man named Peter Eaton, and jailer Gregg placed the following notice in Philadelphia newspapers to recover them. From the phrasing of the escape notice, it seems as if Gregg expected the two men to travel together:

   Newtown, Bucks County, June 28, 1780.
   Two Hundred Dollars Reward.
   BROKE Goal last night the two following persons, viz. PETER EATON, twenty-six years of age, near six feet high, dark brown hair, a little pitted with the small pox; had on a pale blue coat and waistcoat, mixed blue and white dimity breeches, shoes with odd buckles, and a small castor hat. Both of his ears have lately been crop'd for horse-stealing.
   Likewise a Negroe man, who calls himself JOHN, and says he belongs to the Continental army, Colonel Bradley's regt. of New-England troops. He had with him, when committed, an old bay horse, about 13 and a half hands high, branded C. A. The owner (if any there be) is desired to come, pay charges, and take the horse away, otherwise he will be sold to pay the charges.
   The said Negroe is about 25 years of age, had on a red coat and waistcoat, wore threadbare, without lining, green breeches buttoned up the sides, a castor hat that has been turned, a pair of old pumps, one of them tied, the other buckled.
   They stole and carried off with them out of the goal yard, two shirts, one pair of new ribbed thread stockings, one pair worsted ditto, and one linen handkerchief. Whoever takes up and secures them, so that they may be had again, shall have the above reward, and reasonable charges, or one hundred dollars for either of them, paid by
   JAMES GREGG, Goaler.

   The mentioned regiment, from which John says he escaped, could be the 5th Connecticut Regiment, commanded by Col. Philip Burr Bradley, which saw service in the New York and New Jersey compaigns between 1777 and 1781.
