952	This great uncle was truly a great man. He outlived his sister, my grandmother by many years. He was quite well known in the Huntington Beach area of California and parts of southern Calif. I have many scrap books of his famous career as teacher and coach for 50 years at Huntington Beach High School. Their sports complex is named Sheue Field in his honor and since he hadn't any children of his own we named our Adam after him. I even plan on video tapeing his scrapbooks before they are returned to my aunt and uncle Paul and Mary Margaret Pruitt who inherited them upon Uncle Harrys death in June.

992	When Mary Royal was 12 or 14 years old of age her mother with many others was forcibly taken to Pennsylvania. There she was sold as a servant to Caleb Pusey and served her time out. When freed she married William Cole and settled at Nottingham. As a widow she married in 1711 Jeremiah Browne. When she was 12 or 14, she was forcibly taken, carried on board a ship and brought to Pennsylvania. She was here sold as a servant to Caleb Pusey, near Chester, and served her time out. At a court held on 14 Sep 1697, in Pennsylvania, she was assigned to work for Caleb Pusey for 5 years (PA Archives). When free she married William Coles (Coale) and settled at Nottingham. She then later married Jeremiah Brown. Written by her son, Joshua 1. exh. from Hinshaw Vol I, prov by Cheska Wheatley 2. d date,marr from: "A Hadley Genealogy" Vol I, pub by the Hadley Genealogical Soc. of So. Calif.; 1974, page 21 of Chester Co. Pa. She was born in Scotland. When twelve or fourteen yrs of age she, with many others,was forceably taken, carried on board a ship, and taken to PA. There she was sold as a servant to Caleb Pusey and served her time out. When free, she married William Coles and settled in Nottingham. As a widow, she married 2nd mo, 1711, Jeremiah Brown. The story about Mary Royale is well-documented, I think. Her son Joshua Brown (1717-1798) left an autobiography in which he says: "My mother was born in Scotland. When twelve to fourteen years of age, she was, with many others, forcibly taken, carried on board a ship, and brought to Pennsylvania. She was here sold as a servant to Caleb Pusey, near Chester, and served her time out. . . . When free, she married William Coles, and settled at Nottingham . . . . Some time after my father married her." Joshua Brown's account is found in Willard Heiss, ed., QUAKER BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES (1972), p. 266. A friend of mine, who's doctoral dissertation was on Scottish indentured servants in North America, sent me the following information: "The stolen children of Scotland were children that were kidnapped in the late 17th century and sold into indentured servitude by Maurice Trent of Trent(on) family fame, or infamy as the case may be. I have a list of them somewhere. Most were sold to Quakers in Chester County, and several of the children attempted suicide, some successfully." Karen Mullian booboopies@aol.com Remember that conditions were very different from what they are today. Simple passage to the Americas cost much more in equivalent terms than air fare today. Then you had to provide your own food for six weeks or so. Then there was the matter of supporting yourself in the New World. Many, perhaps a majority, couldn't afford it, no matter what they were prepared to sacrifice. But they could indenture themselves, have food and passage provided, and a reasonably secure living for seven years while they got their feet under them. In consequence a substantial percentage, perhaps even a majority, of indenturements were voluntary, even taking judicial transportation into account. So buying in an indentured servant was nothing to weigh on the conscience, unlike slavery. As to slavery, the issue was debated for many years. In 1756 a Quaker ancestor of mine freed two slaves in his will. And in 1775 his son directed his oldest son to care for, and under no circumstances to sell, a slave who was too old and feeble to care for himself. The son so admonished had freed his own slaves by a few years before the passage of law which gradually emancipated all slaves in Pennsylvania, and _his_ son was a conductor on the underground railroad. Probably a fairly typical sequence. With regard to the particular case of Scottish children, the kidnappers were probably Scots, since the English were too busy kidnapping English children for the same purpose. Quite large numbers of children were kidnapped and indentured. Large numbers of orphans were indentured by court order, too. It was a profitable undertaking. And many felt that they were sending the children to a better life. In grim reality, those sent to plantation economies would probably have been better off as slaves, whose masters would have a permanent investment in them. But in the middle colonies and New England, by and large, they probably actually were better off. (The prospects of an indentured servant to better him/herself gradually decayed during the 18th century as it became more diffcult for a laborer to rise in status.) Let us now consider what a master was to do on discovering that his new indentured servant had been abducted. Send them back? Diffcult. There were no agencies to investigate such things. How to contact the parents? They were apt to be illiterate, and even if not, what was their address? Written communication was largely reserved for the middle and upper classes. There were no street numbers, or often even standardized street names, for a child to have memorized. In the 17th century and early 18th you addressed a letter to John Doe, Such-and-such Parish, Someshire and entrusted it to a carter or a traveler going that way. (The mail coaches came much later in the century.) If the addressee lived in an urban setting you addressed it to John Doe, So-and-so House, Somecity. The assumption was that the addressee would be middle class or above and well known in the neighborhood, nobody else got letters. It was not, in fact, at all practical to locate the child's parents. You might have managed it by taking them back to their place of origin yourself, at a cost few could have afforded. The odds would have been against success, even then, though. And even if you could, how would you recoup the expenses? The general society would have regarded it as meritorious to treat the child well and see them well established when their indenture ran out, which Pusey seems to have done. Will Dr. William L.

For the next four and a half years, volunteers working on a part-time basis under the direction of Allen Schiek carried out a series of excavations both inside and outside the structure. Meanwhile, research into the history of the property was ongoing." p. 417	Coale, Mary (Royal) (I2204)
