“ From what the text shows, Henry Jenkins and his wife Caroline (the boy’s mother) are asking the Orphans Court to void an apprenticeship arrangement involving her minor son, James Timmons. They claim James—about 15 years old—was bound out as an apprentice without proper authority or the mother’s consent, and they cite Maryland law (an act from 1793 and its supplements) which they believe was not followed. They request the court declare that the indenture is invalid and restore James to his mother’s care.”
No idea if that’s correct (and no doubt not useful to an expert able to read this directly, but curious if it’s close?
She said: "The idea is close the the details are wrong".
