King George Wills
Sarah Edge presented her daughter Mary Edge in court and prayed she be bound apprentice to Samuel Reids and Jael, his wife, until she was 18 years of age, the said Mary Edge being "five years of age on 12 April next." [COB#l, Page 653 : 2 Nov. 1733]. So it was in colonial times and the records indicate apprentices were often mistreated and were apt to take French leave. The Court Order Books frequently relate these facts; it would make an interesting study for the party with the interest and time to read the unindexed record books.
