Oh yes, he was an indentured.? From what I recall it was usually for 7 years, and they had to provide a suit of clothes and shoes at the end of the term.? Some did have a good experience, but many did not live through the tern, especially the young women. ?Bette Andres -----Original Message----- From: Wilma Norton <wilma.norton@cox.net> To: YOUNGER <YOUNGER@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thu, Jul 16, 2009 8:35 am Subject: [YOUNGER] Immigrants to the New World 1600s - 1800s Browsing through a cd and found this: Richard Younger, age 23, clerk, from London on the ship "Nancy" to Baltimore - 12th to 19 June 1775. With the notation: As a Redemptioner, these people on their arrival at Maryland are to be disposed of for a number of years provided they are not found capable to pay the Capt. for their passage as per agreement. I assume this means they were indentured? If this ship left in June 1775, at age 23 this would make Richard born ca. 1752. I don't have a Richard born anywhere near that time frame, does anybody else? This Richard was the only person surnamed Younger that I found on the CD "Immigrants to the New World".
