These little facts help to make my ancestors seem so much more real to me. I tend to believe that if he was a "covenanted servant" then either (1) he was indentured (but I can't find him on any ships manifests so far), or (2) he was a prisoner of some sort. Must have been terrible work as about 13 or 14 others ran away at the same time. Again, thanks!!! Cindy
