Ipswich Journal Sat 9 Jan 1813 p.3 ABSCONDED from St. Osyth, on Friday last, THOMAS KINGSBURY the elder, and JAMES KINGSBURY the younger, father and son, under a suspicion of felony. Thomas Kingsbury the elder is about 55 years of age, nearly 6 feet high, strong made, has a long visage, dark complexion, and is marked with the small-pox; he usually wears a drab coloured great coat, which is shrunk and too short for him, corderoy breeches, and leather buskins. He has lately been hurt by a fall, by which he received a bruise to his side, and it is believed one or more of his ribs were broken, on which account he rather leans to one side, and stoops in his walk. James Kingsbury the younger is about 25 years of age, a fair complexion, round face, about five feet 7 or 8 inches high, straight well made young man; had on when he went away, round hat, blue jacket, white corded breeches and low shoes.
