| Abstract of Petition | In 1834, free black Perry More apprenticed his son, David MOre, to Rhodes Hazzard for thirteen years and three months. Later, Hazzard transferred the apprenticeship to Isac Obier. When David is convicted of theft and sentenced to be publicly whipped and pay restitution, Obier offers to pay the judgment of $24.45, seeking to use the young man during an unexpired term of eight months and twenty-six days. He also asks to extend the term to repay him for his losses. |
