Tennessee Herald January 16, 1818
50 Dolls. reward.

	There was stolen from me on the night of the 10th of October last at Col.
Roddy’s in Grainger County E T. a chesnut sorrel horse – small blaze in his face
– 5 years old – fifteen hands one inch high.
	There was taken from me and Abram Skidmore two red morocco pocket Books
containing eighty or ninety dollars in North Carolina notes – also at the same
time one saddle, the front part of the skirt inlaid – the makers name Michiel
Romenger, pasted under the skirt; also a new pair of saddle bags, containing a
mixed country cloth coat, two store waistcoats and a cambric and a homespun
cotton shirt. – The above property was stolen by a fellow by the name of Thomas
Oliver.  He is about 50 years of age (note the 50 looks odd, like an S whereas
the 5 in other places is clearly a 5) and about six feet high.  He has a large
scar on left fore finger, fair complexion and light hair, blue eyes, prominent
mouth and teeth.  I will give the above reward for the thief and horse and what
plunder he may have or forty dollars for the thief only.
