This is a fascinating record, for it includes, beside the servant, the port they're from, to who indentured, the residence, occupation, and term.

I read a couple very odd things.....1... A woman was to be paid in Irish silver and

2... A woman's term was "1 yr, commencing the 7 Aug, last, the day if her arrival in America as stipulated by an indenture under the hand ok the Mayor of Cork, in Ireland.
