Bonded Passengers To America by Peter Wilson Coldham Volume 1 & 2 Genealogical
Publishing Company, Baltimore. Passengers to America; edited by Michael Tepper;
Genealogical Publishing Company. If you find your Singleton dispatched to America as
"a convict", don't judge the person by today's standards. Between 1615 and 1775
more than 50,000 men, women and children were sent to America for insignificant crimes
(pickpockets, vagrant and idle persons, incorrigible and disobedient servants or the poor
who could not take care of themselves or their families). For these persons, being sent to
America offered a fresh opportunity and improved living conditions rather than serving
prison terms in very bleak poorly run jails. |
