Interesting comment on little girl sold (seld indenture for x number of years) to Caleb Pusey. My Alexander Ross was stolen off the streets of either Scotland or Northern Ireland and was indentured to Caleb Pusey at age of 12. Alexander Ross became a man of great wealth. He moved from Chester Co with a whole group of Quakers to found Hopewell Meeting in VA.
