Research Notes
Comments:
"The following vignettes capture the probate histories of some eighteenth-century servants. A letter of administration was filed for Job Carpenter in 1733. He had arrived in Pennsylvania in 1722 and signed a five-year indenture. Carpenter was listed as a laborer in Falls Township, Bucks County; his assets at death came to slightly less than fifteen pounds. (1)"
