Proof of Immigrant Servant Status:
"1657 Jun 18. We, a jury of inquest, by Anthony Heynes, Deputy Sheriff, to enquire about the death of William Ayres, late servant to Daniel Tucker of County & Parish of York, find that he was cause of his own death, having not the fear of God before his eyes, did wilfully hang himself (list of 13 jurymen)."
