Chris in 1066Land
NB - In early August 2012 I was diagnosed with a
rare disease that only effects 1 in 20,000 people. It is called
'Myasthenia Gravis' which is classified as an auto-immune disease where the
body's immune system attacks itself weakening the voluntary muscles that
control the eyes, the face, throat and limbs and the muscles that help you breath.
There is no
cure, but treatment is available to control it, but it takes anywhere from 2 to
5 years to be effective; so please forgive me for any delay in answering your enquiry. NEW - my own personal web site - www.swarbrooke.com Latest Update -

INDENTURED SERVITUDE -
Sussex Emigrants to the American Colonies
1718 - 1785
There was a tremendous demand for labour, skilled and unskilled, in the American colonies and many ordinary individuals, who for numerous varying reasons wished to emigrate to the colonies, but were unable to pay for their own passage joined a scheme whereby the emigrant could receive a free passage to the colonies provided that he/she was willing to be sold into bondage for a few years upon arrival. An agent received an acreage of land for each servant he brought into the colony and the servant, at the end of his time, received a reward in the shape of land, tools, etc.

Settlement Certificates were usually issued to poor persons wishing to settle outside their own parish of legal settlement.
This did not always mean that the individual or families were paupers, but in the opinion of the Parish Officer, they posed what could be a potential problem and possible burden on the Parish.

Stonemasons of Lewes
Masonry being one of the construction trades required the skills of both an architect and engineer and the eye of an artist as stonemasons were employed to work on both the interior and exterior features of buildings. They could be called upon to build or repair anything from a church doorway to a pavement prior to the development of the specialist monumental masons during the 18th century. - read more for the "History of the Lewes Stonemasons"
