Research Notes
Proof of Immigrant Servant Status:
"1666. Deposition of Francis Haddon says that Edward Jenkins, having served Stephen Tarlton 4 years, Stephen Tarlton, before Mr. Carvile, myself and my wife, gave him a full discharge. Tarlton asked him if he was willing to serve me for a year for the care and charge he had with him in his dangerous seasoning and he said he would. Francis Haddon." (1) "1666. Jenkins told me he had promised his master a years service for care in his sickness, otherwise he had been dead, and that Dickens and his wife told him he was a fool for giving Tarlton a years service. Jane Hudson." (1)
Comments:
