ADAIR COUNTY COURT RECORDS - SURNAME "WATSON"

Contributed By: Janna Craig

 

These are partial transcriptions of some court records in Adair County a few years ago. The first entry, I do have a copy of the original document...as they pretty much read the same I didn’t copy them all, but noted the pertinent information. On the indenture of apprenticeship of the first three, they were to be apprenticed to the people that took them. It state’s the children were to be provided & furnished sufficient wholesome meat, drink, clothing & Lodging necessary & fit for an apprentice during his servitude & further to teach & instruct the apprentice in reading, writing & common arithmetic. At the expiration of term to give the said apprentice one good and complete suit of clothes to be decent & new as required by law & three pounds ten shillings current money. Thanks... Janna
