Piedmont Trails

The Children Without Indenture Papers


Listen Later

The show brings to light a portion of our history that involves colonial indentured servants. During the research process involved with the Colonial Indentured Servants Project, Piedmont Trails has discovered many children under the age of 12 who were sold after arriving to the colonies. These children sailed alone without family members and became the property of others while they worked until the age of 21 or older. Many did not survive. The show begins the process of sharing their life story by sharing the ships involved, the ship owners and many more details. Stay tuned for updates from the research by visiting Piedmont Trails.
