Connecticut Apprentices, 1637-1900

Description (from source site)
The apprenticeship records in this database were created by abstracting the original indenture document for Connecticut during the time period from 1637-1900. There are approximately 2,700 individuals in the index, and each record includes, when provided, the name, age, and town of residence of the indentured individual, the name of the person they are indentured to and the town, the trade to be learned, date indentured, and the age they will be released from the contract. It also lists cases of runaway indentured servants, and a list of trades with a brief definition. The database consists primarily of Connecticut people, but does contain references to New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Rhode Island, Ireland, Amsterdam, England, and Cuba.
