"Isaac Jewry, schooled by Master Whitehead to prepare him for his apprenticeship, was so fractious that neither Whitehead nor his brother Charles could handle the boy. 'In both places the said Isack Jury did so ill behave himselfe that neither of the aforesaid persons would keepe the said Isack but hath returned him into the parish again.' Isaac was now over sixteen years old and in need of training. The parish 'used all good measures to have placed him into a trade but he proving so untowardly' that no permanent position resulted. No master would take him as an apprentice regardless of how much the vestry offered to pay. The vestry, at the end of its resources and unwilling to continue supporting Isaac, 'thought fit with the consent of the said Isack Jury to send him to Virginia.' This young man soon joined the early settlers in Jamestown." (1)
