Apprenticeship record of the immigrant, Benjamin Child (died 1678), of Roxbury, Massachusetts

[Douglas Richardson]

Dear Newsgroup ~

Recently I located the following record in one of the databases
available at www.ancestry.com. The record below concerns the
apprenticeship record of the immigrant, Benjamin Child (died 1678), of
Roxbury, Massachusetts. His uncle, Ephraim Child, immigrated in the
Winthrop Fleet to Massachusetts in 1630 and settled at Watertown,
Massachusetts.

For further particulars on the English origins of the Child family,
see Myrtle Stevens Hyde and Paul L. Child, "Child-Foote-Goddard
Connections," published in The American Genealogist volume LXIII
(1988).

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Thanks Doug, this is great! Benjamin is my patrilineal ancestor 12 ten generations back (and my ancestor another nine times!). Best, Chris Child, Boston, Massachusetts

Dear Chris ~

I'm glad you found the apprenticeship record for Benjamin Child
helpful.

My Revolutionary War ancestor, Capt. David Richardson, of Connecticut
and Ohio was the son-in-law of Martha Child who is a lineal descendant
of the immigrant, Benjamin Child, of Roxbury, Massachusetts.

So we're distantly related to one another.

Hi Douglas,

I tried to consult the London Apprenticeship Abstracts 1442-1850 on Ancestry.com today, but I could not find it in the "Card Catalog" there. Will you please post additional information about how you located this database on Ancestry.com?

Thanks.

I believe I was searching for Benjamin Child and the entry in the
Apprenticeship Abstracts came up for him. Try that.

I also wasn't able to find this reference at *Ancestry*
However this database exists at *Origins*
Perhaps DR has a subscription there as well?

Thanks for this Will.

I thought I accessed the database through www.Ancestry.com. But ....
I was using various subscription services at the Family History
Library that day and possibly I clicked on a weblink for Origins.

If the database is on Origins, I must have been using that site.
