Robert advertised in THE AMERICAN WEEKLY MERCURY of 1 Oct. 1730 that his servant, Michal Hambleton, had run away on 21 September 1730. Hambleton was a short thick man, full faced and fresh colored, of a brown complexion, short bushy beard, some grey hair, and about 40 years of age.

The witnesses were Johon Updike, George Hopkins, and Samuel Harris.
