Research Notes
Proof of Immigrant Servant Status:
"William Riley, a servant of Richard Hall, under 16 years, petitions that his indenture is void, which is opinion of the Court, whereupon William chooses Rev. Mr. Robert Rose his guardian, who qualifies."
Comments:
Perhaps an orphaned apprentice rather than an indentured servant.
