Two historical documents in Dr. F. Be Weeks Kipton collection reveal 18th century customs. One acts as a slave deed dated 1754 and an indenture from 1773 detailing Ichabod Lewis apprenticeship to Joseph Strang. The bill of sale shows three sales of the same slave, with the opening act of transfer by Joan O Bryan.
In January 1754 John O Bryan declares the sale of his enslaved man to Thomas Underhill in plain market terms. Underhill then transfers the man to Joseph Thorn in February 1754 for value. By December 1754 Thorn sells the enslaved person to Abel Weeks for value received.
The indenture binds master and apprentice to lawful terms for a sadler apprenticeship. It requires faithful conduct, attendance, prohibition of visiting alehouses, and instruction in writing, arithmetic, and the trade. The master must provide meat, drink, clothing, washing, and lodging and deliver a full suit at term end. Signed September 10, 1773 by Thomas Strang and Alanson Lewis.
The document records Alanson Lewis of Cortlandt Manor New York indenturing his son Ichabod Lewis to Joseph Strang merchant to learn the art of a saddler for seven years. The terms require faithfulness secrecy obedience and prohibition of bearing falsehood gambling or marriage within the realm during the apprenticeship.
