Here is a rather rare and unusual document from February of 1681. It is a document of indenture. Basically becoming a slave for a period of years. This document is long and detailed and I could not copy all of it. But, here is a much of it and the signatures on the back of this velum document.
So just a unique piece from well over 330 years ago.
Indenture says it all doesn't it?
On the top of the picture above you will see the writing of the date. Written in a script and in a very long form.
I wonder what ever happened to the servant who was here signing much of his life away long ago.
