UPSON COUNTY, GA - INDENTURED APPRENTICES Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Lisa Graham Georgia Table of Contents: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm INDENTURED APPRENTICES- Upson County, GA. The Following is a list of Indentured Apprentices found in the Thomason-Upson County Archives. An INDENTURE is a legal document in which someone under 21,- a child becomes an APPRENTICE for someone, due to different circumstances, such as being an orphan or because the parents could not afford to care for them. An APPRENTICE was used for work to gain profit for whoever he/she was bonded to until age 21, or marriage. Specifically for Upson County this might mean that the adult could keep the money from the child's wages that he/she earned until 21. Some went to work as early as 8 yrs old & even in Cotton Mills. So Indenturement entitles the owner of that child (guardian) to keep the income they make and in return to provide them with food, clothing & medicine unless they allow them to marry or until they are 21. I have transcribed several of these so you can read them and understand these documents and how they were used. I hope you find some of your Ancestors. Happy Hunting.
