I need some help in understanding the following and I'm hoping that one of you that may have previously encountered such an order, as below, and may be able to explain some things to me. It is listed in a book or orders. Are these court type orders bestowed upon an individual, say a parent, due to debt and his children had to work, recordings of a childs intended profession and contract for journeyman services, orphans orders, voluntary indentures, what??? Was this child 10 yrs. old when he started such training or bound to this John Small as a laborer at that age? Any insight will be appreciated. Not familiar with working children. Smile. Frederick County Orders 6, 1754-1755, 23: Aaron Henry, Occupation, Weaver, Master John Small, Beginning Date August 6, 1754, Ending Date October 1, 1765. Age 10.
