Missing horse notice and lost man from 1740 Monmouth area
A broadside advertises a lost bay gelding from Cumcarvan Monmouth and seeks notices to William Blower Postmaster with a reward. It also warns travelers to beware impostors offering false noble accommodations en route to Tunbridge Wells. Additional notices seek information on Robert Clark born at Lapworth and deceased clock maker Thomas Vernon’s heirs, offering rewards for any leads on his whereabouts. The text ends describing a man of middle height with dark brown hair.
