Comments:
"Influential patrons everywhere were on the lookout to sponsor the mobility of young talent. Benjamin Robinson, clerk of Caroline County, Virginia, rescued fourteen-year-old Edmund Pendleton from poverty and set him on his way to becoming one of Virginia's distinguished leaders. So, too, was the penniless immigrant indentured servant Daniel Dulany, Sr., patronized by a wealthy Marylander." (3)
