He was sold into a 7 year Indentured Servitude that he worked off and he eventually married Jean Henderson, the daughter of the man that had purchased his Indentured Contract from the Ships Captain. It is hard to understand how the world functioned back in these early days.
We spent almost 2 weeks here at the Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay RV campground, and enjoyed the campground and local area very much. There is a Living Historical Museum in Yorktown Virginia which is about 30 miles away. They demonstrate the living conditions that the early Americans endured as well as the solders who fought and won the American Revolution.
We met several couples while here and even tried eating Oysters at the Oyster Festival held at a local town. I hope you enjoy the story of how our family arrived as well as the couples and activities highlighted in the video.
