^® Quoted in Hist, of Chester Co.: 430. Phila., 1881.
" Ibid, p. 431.
" MSS., Registry of Redemptioners, in Hist. Soc. of Penn. Dated March 30, 1795.
" Acts of Assembly of the Province of Pa. p. 162. Phila., 1775.
The Indenture. JS fore the organization of Pennsylvania into a Proprietary Govern- ment, shows that a regular method of assignment had at that time already been established, and that the practice of selling the time of servants was not uncommon at this early date. An entry dated March... 12, 1678, reads: "Anthony Lx)ng brought in Court a cer- tayne man servant named William Goaf whome hee has bought of Moens Peterson for the full term of Three years servitude. The s'd Wm. Goaf being present in court did owne the same, and did faithfully promise to serve his master honestly and truly ye above s'd Term of Three years.'' ^* Such sales were more frequent in the latter part of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century. In 1792 Anna Ballman bound herself for three and a half years ; within the first year of her indenture she had served five dif- ferent masters.^*^ In the newspapers of the time frequent advertisements are found like the following from the Pennsylvania Packet, dated October 2Sth, 1773 : "A strong hearty woman servant, who has about two years and a half to serve, very suitable for the Country." ^' The fact that servants sometimes voluntarily bound themselves a second time, after the first indenture had expired, indicates that their con- dition under indenture, was, during the latter part of the i8th cen- tury rather mild.
