In the 18th and 19th centuries, the local courts in North Carolina would apprentice orphans to learn a trade so that they would not become wards of the state. Note that when the Court used the term orphan it meant only that the child's father was dead, not the mother.
The NC Archive has many of the records of these sorts of proceedings and digital images of the semi-sorted documents are available online via the LDS Church. I have attempted to categorize and summarize them here for the period 1782 to 1802, but there are many more of these records from later years here:
