Commentary

The purpose of the Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions binding apprentices to masters was two-fold. At the simplest level, this was similar to the modern adoption process. Orphan children needed someone to look after them and teach them a trade – so that they would become productive members of society and not be a burden to the state.

Yet it appears that the binding of apprentices served another, more sinister function as well. In many cases, free children of color were bound to masters as a legal tool for controlling them – and perhaps also for the purpose of breaking apart families of color.

Indeed, in 1826 the North Carolina General Assembly amended its apprenticeship laws to clarify that the county courts could “bind out the children of free Negroes or mulattoes, where the parent, with whom such children live, does not or shall not habitually employ his or her time in some honest industrious occupation.” Emboldened by this new statute, the Orange County Court began an active campaign of binding children of color. Where in the preceding 50 years 12% of apprentices bound were children of color, in the 34 years between this statute and the outbreak of the Civil War that ratio swelled to 44%.

The 1826 statute notionally provided some safeguards for the free children of color to be bound as apprentices, such as a requirement that the master provide adequate food and clothing, humane treatment and education to some trade. Yet the reality on the ground seems to have worked out somewhat differently. While the bonds and indentures summarized here specified what trade each white child was to learn, children of color were frequently bound without any stated requirement that they be taught any trade. And likewise while the Court often specified what education, payment, tools and clothing white children were to receive by the end of their apprenticeship, the court seldom specified these things for children of color.

So glaring is this omission that during the 1830’s and 1840’s, when the Court used a pre-printed fill-in-the-blank form for binding children, they actually printed up two different forms – one for white children and another for children of color. Unlike the form for white children, the form for the children of color did not even have a space in which to fill in the trade that the child was to be taught. In other words, it was not merely an oversight that the trade to be taught was not recorded. It was a purposeful decision – openly acknowledging that for children of color the arrangement was to benefit the master only, not the apprentice.

The process of binding a child as an apprentice would begin with the Grand Jury issuing a presentment. For example, at the February 1826 Term of the Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions, the Grand Jury presented the illegitimate children of Polly Hudson. The tenor of the presentment tells us plenty about why their attention was focused on these three children, as the Grand Jury complained that Charles, Elizabeth and Francis Hudson were “Runing at Large doing no good.” We can imagine that these grand jurors were a bit like many of the adults Mark Twain presents in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

While children to be bound by this procedure were frequently called “orphans,” this presentment makes another matter clear: the court used the word ‘orphan’ in a different manner than we would use it today. The mother, Polly Hudson was alive, but to the Court, not having a father was what they meant by orphan. After all, a mere mother could hardly be relied upon to teach a child a useful trade or even arrange an apprenticeship for her children.

Although, a child’s father being alive did not necessarily mean that one had a father to perform this function. After all, Polly Hudson’s children were born out of wedlock. And at that time, that almost always meant that the father was not a part of their household – and likely he had nothing to do with the children at all.

When a child was to be bound as an apprentice, the Court would find a master to whom to bind the child. We can see that in 1833, at least one master had obtained his apprentice after he told the County Attorney “that he would receive said Boy as an apprentice, if the Court would bind him to him.” Having some connection to the officers of the Court was relevant in getting an apprentice.[1] It also appears that the Court was paid a fee for each apprentice – eight shillings in 1790.[2]

While in some cases the records of Orange County show that the mother’s consent to the apprenticeship was relevant, we can also see that it was not essential. For example, in 1798 when William Jackson apparently skipped town and left his wife and children destitute, the Court ordered that the children be brought in. But when the Sheriff came for the children, their mother Susannah Jackson “shut the door of her house and declared that nobody should take her Children.”[3] In response the Court ordered the Sheriff to take the children whether she would allow it or not.[4] The children were all bound as apprentices almost immediately.[5] However, when William Jackson returned a year later, it appears that he negotiated the return of at least some of the children.[6]

It is notable that the records presented here are almost exclusively records of court ordered apprenticeship. While many other apprentices were bound to masters to learn trades, those other apprenticeships were entered into between the child’s father and the master. These records almost exclusively relate to situations in which the father was not available to arrange such an apprenticeship.

Even in the situation where the father was unavailable (whether deceased, missing or simply absent), the court’s record of the apprenticeship would typically take at least three forms: 1) the binding of the apprentice would be noted in the minutes of the Orange County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions (cited in the form OCPQS 5/70 or the like, meaning Minute Book 5, page 70), 2) an indenture would be filed in the Clerk of Court’s office (a contract between the County and the master spelling out the responsibilities of both the master and the apprentice), and 3) a bond would also be filed in the Clerk’s office (a separate contract in which friends or business associates would guarantee the performance of the master’s obligations).

Some apprenticeship documents in the Apprentice Bonds file at the Archive do not seem to have any corresponding minute in the Minute Books, while many other apprenticeships mentioned in the Minute Books do not have corresponding indentures or bonds in the file. While some of the latter category of omissions might be explained by the ravages of time, the fact that many indentures and bonds survive despite the absence of references in the minutes appears to show that neither source alone can be relied upon. What is more, it appears that in at least one well documented case, a child was apprenticed by the Court, but the Clerk of Court failed to ever obtain an indenture or bond for the child:

Susan Revills

While some apprentices undoubtedly learned useful life skills from their masters, it is clear that some apprenticeships benefitted the master more than the apprentice. In a few cases we can see that the mother of the apprentice interceded to look out for her child. And in some cases, it seem likely that apprentices were subject to exploitation. Quite how exploitive the treatment of the Revill/Revel family was is a matter of opinion, but it is clear that the Orange County Court of Pleas took an abiding multi-generational interest in this family of color, said by their modern descendants to have been a Native-American family.

Peggy Revill had a daughter Charity Revill born the first of March 1794. Two-year-old Charity was bound to Andrew Brooks in 1796. Sixteen years later in August 1812, the Court ordered the Sheriff to bring in Charity’s 15-month-old daughter Susan Revill. Susan was therefore born around June 1811 which means that Charity became pregnant around September 1810 when she was about sixteen and a half years old and still bound as an apprentice to Andrew Brooks. I have found no record of Charity ever saying who Susan’s father was.

In August 1812, Susan Revill was ordered to be bound to Robert Eaton, but the Clerk of Court, John Taylor Jr, never followed up by obtaining an apprenticeship bond from Eaton or executing an indenture to him. To be clear, it is not just that the requisite paperwork is now missing, but rather that the Superior Court later ruled specifically that no such paperwork had ever existed. Nevertheless, Susan Revill lived and worked in Robert Eaton’s home as though she had been bound to him.

In 1826, Robert Eaton was in financial trouble and he sold his purported apprentice to one of his creditors to pay off his debts. Eaton and the purchaser had the proposal written up by the same Clerk of Court who had failed to obtain the bond and indenture, John Taylor Jr. The purchaser planned to transport her to Guilford County where he lived (which would have been contrary to the terms of the bond, if there had been one). Susan was frightened that she would be stuck in permanent slavery as she thought Eaton’s creditor would pass her off as being a slave rather than an apprentice – a well justified concern, as other cases where white masters attempted to sell their apprentices of color as slaves appear in the records.[7] Susan managed to get a Hillsborough attorney to obtain a Writ of Habeas Corpus to bring her before Superior Court Judge Thomas Ruffin, who ruled that she was never legally bound to Eaton and therefore could not be sold.[8] Still under the age of majority, though, Susan was referred to the County Court where she was immediately re-bound to Moses S Pratt.[9]

iii

Just two years later, in February 1828, when Susan was not quite 17 years old, she gave birth to a daughter, Mary Revill.[10] Mary was at some point bound to Sheriff Thomas D Watts. It is not clear why, but in 1833 this indenture was rescinded by the Court and she was re-bound to Mary Palmer,[11] though this arrangement was short. A year and a half later, in November 1834, Mary was apprenticed to George Albright.[12]

Susan Revill married John Wilson in 1833.[13] While the end of the story of Susan Revill remains uncertain, it is clear from a review of the records that the Orange County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions took a keen interest in the Revill family. While many other people of color are mentioned in the minutes of that court, no other family shows up so consistently. It is also notable that the various Revill family members (for there are quite a few others documented below) were often bound to very prominent men in the county. In addition to this example of Susan Revill being bound to Constable Robert Eaton, a different Revill girl was bound to Sheriff Thomas D Watts. Justice of the Peace and sometime Congressman William F Strudwick had four apprentices bound to him between 1801 and 1818 – three of them Revill girls, as well as one boy from the same family. Clerk of court John Taylor Jr had at least six apprentices bound to him between 1827 and 1841 – all of them children of color, two of them Revill boys.

Perhaps the Revills were particularly intelligent and industrious, making them desirable as bound apprentices. Perhaps also their intelligence and industry made them seem particularly threatening to the white supremacist culture of the Court, and therefore important to be kept under careful supervision. It may also be that their Native American ancestry made them aesthetically appealing to the Eurocentric eyes of the members of the court. Probably all three of these things were factors.

Alsey Murphey

No doubt the experience of orphan white girls in this system was at least a bit more favorable, yet the case of Alsey Murphey is still not one that Orange County can look back on with pride. Alsey Murphey was just 14 when she appeared in Court as an orphan to be bound as an apprentice in May 1787. It is unclear who her parents were or what had happened to them, but she needed someone to look out for her. Among the men of power who were present at this Term of Court were Justice of the Peace William Nash & Clerk of Court Samuel Benton. The Court determined to bind Alsey to Eli Lindsey, a farmer who lived a few miles north of Hillsborough.[14] Alsey became a household servant assisting Eli’s wife Anne Lindsey. Alsey must have finished out her apprenticeship in 1791.

By 1795, Alsey was 22 years old, single and pregnant. The father of the child was identified as William Nash, one of the Justices who had 8 years earlier bound her to the Lindseys. In 1798, Alsey was back in court – again charged with having a child out of wedlock, but this time she identified the father as Justice Samuel Benton, who had been the Clerk of Court when she was bound as an apprentice 11 years earlier. In 1802, Alsey was once again pregnant out of wedlock and again she named William Nash as the father.

iv

Both Benton[15] and Nash[16] were ordered to pay Alsey child support. In 1799, Benton deeded her lot 86 in Hillsborough – in consideration of three pounds paid to Benton as the deed recites, but probably more accurately in payment to Alsey for the child support he owed her.[17]

It was undoubtedly a difficult life for Alsey and her fatherless children, but not everything went badly for her. While living in Hillsborough, she met a man who lived near the border of Orange and Wake Counties (now Durham and Wake Counties). William Dodd married Alsey Murphey in Wake County in 1805.

Court records show that two of Alsey Dodd’s children, Dulconia and Calvin were apprenticed to Samuel Benton – “who is the reputed father of the said children” – sometime between 1805 and 1810.[18] It is not clear which of the two had been born in 1798, but the other was likely a bit younger so Dulconia and Calvin would have been no older than twelve years at the time of this order. Samuel Benton died in 1810, and left his entire estate to his son-in-law John Taylor Jr[19] who was by that time Samuel’s successor as Clerk of Court (the same one who failed to obtain any paperwork for Susan Revill’s apprenticeship, and to whom two other Revills family members were bound).

Two years later, Alsey Dodd and her husband sold lot 86 in Hillsborough to John Taylor Jr for $20.[20] After that, Alsey Murphey Dodd and her family seem to have disappeared from the records of Orange County. What became of them I do not know, but it seems evident to me that although there is no specific evidence that either William Nash or Samuel Benton did anything illegal (other than the crimes of Adultery and Bastardy), they did take advantage of a young woman in a very difficult circumstance – a young woman that both of them had only a few years earlier had the responsibility of looking out for as officers of the Court.

Zedekiah Husbands

Yet it is important to recognize that the young people who were exploited by the apprenticeship system had agency of their own. Some apprentices ran away from unkind masters, while others served out their time. At least one apprentice of color grew up to be a master in his own right, apparently seeking to keep a young person of color from being exploited by a white master in the way that he had been exploited himself.

In February 1813, the Orange County Court brought in three free children of color, the sons and daughter of William Husbands. The Court bound them as apprentices: Alexander Husbands (age 14) to John Whithed, Zedekiah Husbands (11) to Joseph Woody and Patsy Husbands (9) to William Johnston.[21] While William Johnston’s residence is not clear to me, the names Whitted and Woody are clearly related to the vicinity of Marys Creek in what is now Alamance County, then part of Orange. But by 1817, Joseph

v

Woody had moved out of Orange County and Zedekiah was re-bound to John Crawford, who also lived in the Marys Creek area. As before Zedekiah’s master was to teach him the art & mystery of farming, but it appears that Zedekiah grew up to become a millwright.[22]

A generation later Zedekiah’s nephew Daniel Burnett[23] was bound as an apprentice to Thomas Woody,[24] but like Joseph Woody, Thomas decided to leave Orange County in 1832. In March of the same year, Zedekiah married Polly Burnett.[25] Zedekiah Husbands agreed to take the boy under his wing if Thomas would get the County Court to approve of Husbands as Burnett’s master. But apparently Thomas Woody never followed up on the matter with the Court. [26] In Feb 1833, Husbands went to the County Court to get Burnett formally bound to him as his apprentice, but the Court decided that Husbands could not be given this responsibility because he was a man of color.[27]

In May 1833, the County Court ordered the Sheriff to bring Daniel Burnett who was then living with Zedekiah Husbands to be bound as an apprentice.[28] Unbeknownst to Zedekiah, Daniel was then bound as an apprentice to a white man named John Jones, rather than to Zedekiah. According to John Jones, he gave Daniel permission to go to Zedekiah’s house three miles from Hillsborough to get his clothes, but while there Zedekiah convinced Daniel to stay. When Jones came to Husbands’s place to look for his apprentice, Zedekiah hid him away and Daniel never returned to the service of John Jones.[29]

Upset by this turn of events, Zedekiah took the matter up to the Superior Court and won.[30] In August 1834, when Zedekiah was just 21 or 22 years old, he was made the master of Daniel Burnet and was to teach Burnett the art & mystery of a millwright.[31]

Husbands must have been a very remarkable man, though I have yet to find him mentioned in any other published work on the history of Orange County. Not only did he prosecute lawsuits in the Orange County Court, but sometime in 1834 or 1835, Husbands purchased 48 acres on the Eno River – one of a very few people of color to own real estate in Orange County before the Civil War.[32]

While his wife Polly Burnett Husbands shows up in the 1850 and 1860 Censuses, it appears that Zedekiah must have passed away before 1850 as he is not mentioned. Polly is shown as living with some children with the last name Husbands and people of color with the Husbands family name continue to appear in later censuses for both Orange and Alamance Counties.

Conclusion

While these few case studies sketch the outlines of apprenticeship in Orange County, it is obvious that there must have been much more to these stories. I picked these particular examples because they were cases where some significant additional details could be found, even if there was not as much detail as I would have liked. Yet the records below show over fourteen hundred others who were apprenticed by Court order – just in Orange County. For many of those, there is little other detail to be readily found, yet each of them must have had their own interesting story.

I hope that this book will serve as a useful research guide to both historians and genealogists. And perhaps it is also a starting point for acknowledging the difficult history of racism, misogyny and exploitation that lies in the old court records of Orange County, North Carolina.

A Note on Sources

What follows are two main sources of information on children who were bound as apprentices in Orange County, North Carolina: 1) the minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions (OCPQS), and 2) my abstracts of the Orange County Apprentice Bonds located at the North Carolina Archive in Raleigh. While I have attempted to include here verbatim transcripts of apprentices mentioned in the Court minutes, I have included only selected details from the much lengthier bonds at the Archives. It is important to look at the digital images of the originals, as you might well find additional information or perhaps transcription errors in my abstracts of them. The images are referenced here by the order in which they appear on the microfilm (from which the digital images at the website below were made):

Whereupon the said Shadrach desired said Eaton to give him a written transfer & assignment to carry their said agreement into effect, & said Eaton then employed said Taylor to draw the conveyance & assignments, who undertook the same. Said assignment is herewith filed & prayed to be taken as part of this return. Under this assignment the said Shadrach honestly believed that he might take lawful possession of the said Susan, having been so advised by a practicing attorney at law, whom he considered fully competent to give him a correct opinion on that subject. The Said Lovick acted in this matter as agent only for his brother the said Shadrack, to carry the said Susan to the Dwelling House of the said Shadrach in the County of Guilford. And this is the Cause of the taking & detention of the said Susan Revels, whose body we have as by said writ commanded us.
