    3. Hello, I have thought of this in past years, but decided to try to find more information now ! I'm curious what happened to Eleazer WHITE, an apprentice to George HUTCHINSON of 1600's Charlestown, MA ! Eleazer is mentioned in the will of George in 1660 ! The information from "The Genealogies and Estates of Charlestown ..." has the following: "HUTCHINSON, George (1). Inhabitant 1630; adm. church, 1632, with wife, Margaret ______l d, Dec, 11m 1660. Issue: Nathaniel, bapt. .. 1633. .... Will: (10) pro. 18 (10) 1660, devised to wife 1/2 house; to son 1/2 house and time of apprenticeship Eleazer White; bro. John Penticost and Thomas Lynde, overseers. ...." I am guessing this means that, upon the death of George, Eleazer WHITE became the apprentice of George's (only) son, Nathaniel HUTCHINSON. Nathaniel and Sarah (BAKER) HUTCHINSON are discussed in the next paragraph. (They had 7 children born to them, they are my ancestors.) Nathaniel bought and sold many properties while he lived in Charlestown. I just checked through the "estate" and "inventory" and "division" (will?), and they don't mention Eleazer WHITE. ... If Eleazer was an apprentice of George HUTCHINSON's in 1660, and then continued to be an apprentice to Nathaniel, should I guess that Eleazer was born during the 1640's ? I checked the LDS site last night, and I think I found an Eleazer WHITE born in 1647 in Roxbury (saying this from memory), and no other information on him ! Thank you for your time.
