Hi, There are other reference to people sentenced to "TRANSPORTATION" to the colonies prior to the revolution and there were a number of YOUNGERs listed. In addition to "TRANSPORTATION" there were a number of YOUNGERs brought to the colonies and sold as indentured for a 7 year period, but this could be extended for an additional 7 years for various reasons. Life expectancy was short so many did not live out there term, but may have had children. Ref: "The Chesapeake in the Seventeenth Century" Edited by Thad W. Tate & David L. Ammerman, published by Norton. There are other references I can't find quickly. The colonial court records for Maryland shows that Alexander Younger brought several "YOUNGERs" to Maryland and the indications are that they became indentured.
