He was bound out to Thomas Davis and wife, who agreed to teach him the stone mason's trade, to read and write. The testimony of his mother showed that this was a verbal agreement and that finding a home for Stephen was a great relief to herself and her husband. The boy was weak, undersized and sickly, sure to become a burden. In a lawsuit at age 15, Stephen testified he had run away a number of times but for no definite reason, except possibly once to see his mother, and always intended to come back. He admitted that his master and mistress were good and kind, but he did 'acknowledge that it was a good while before he could eat his master's food viz. Meate and milk or drink beer, saying he did not know it was good, because he was not used to eat such victual, but to eate bread and water porridge and to drink water.' Stephen's apprenticeship was to last until he was 18, and it probably did. Nothing more appears about him until he was 22, a healthy, vigorous man. 1690-97 under Capt. John White in the 6th garrison - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||||
